Jenny Ritchie
Having been a childhood gymnast, Jenny discovered her passion for circus in her early twenties and obtained a diploma in circus arts at Christchurch’s Circo-Arts training facility at CPIT. She has gone on to forge an international career in productions such as Robert Lepage's interpretation of Das Rheingold for the Metropolitan Opera of New York, Odysséo by Cavalia and Rigolo with Swiss Nouveau Cirque. Her talent and experience have also contributed to high profile New Zealand productions such as Tanemahuta Gray's Maui and the acclaimed World of Wearable Art. She has taught extensively for a diversity of ages and gets a major kick out of sharing her skills and experience with novices and advanced performers alike.
Jenny has recently returned to Christchurch to further her studies and is currently working with Free Theatre Christchurch as a tutor and performer. |
