Coach / founder
Maxine Gigliotti (she/her) started up Sea Sault Circus in late 2023 with a dream to bring circus down to the Bass Coast.
Maxine started her journey in the circus at age 15, joining a local youth circus. She fell in love with it and decided to pursue this passion, completing a cert. 3 & 4 in Circus Arts before jumping into a Bachelor of Circus Arts at NICA, graduating with a specialty in tight- wire, dance trapeze and group acrobatics. She then went on to tour around Australia performing.
It is Maxines joy to teach. She has over 10 years experience teaching circus to people of all ages; 3-80 years. As well as to people with a wide range of physical and intellectual abilities. Maxines’ passion is to bring the joy of circus to as many people as possible!
