Richie Schiraldi is a professional Circus Artist based in Chicago. He has been training and performing Cyr Wheel for a decade, and has showcased his talents in Chicago, Edinburgh, Berlin, Sitka, and more.
He has performed Cyr in cabarets, as integrated parts of larger shows, and as ambient entertainment at events.

Richie is available for booking across the USA, as well as internationally.
He's also available for workshops and private lessons in learning how to spin.

Cyr Wheel will require a flat surface of ideally 20' x 20', at minimum 15' x 15.'
The floor must be level and flat, without any major cracks or interruptions.
Cyr works best on marley(dance) or wood flooring, and can be done on smooth/glazed concrete, tile, and marble. If the floor is too slippery, it will limit what I can do skill-wise.

I do not come with my own sound equipment. If you require specific costuming, please say so. I cannot guarantee I own what you are looking for, but with enough time I can acquire additional costume pieces.
