Circo Rum Ba Ba is a well-established, highly experienced women’s circus theatre company which fuses spectacular theatre with a diverse range of circus skills, comedic characters and narratives to bring extraordinary shared experiences to communities and audiences. The company is committed to developing wonderfully bizarre, offbeat shows, promenades and walkabout characters for free to the public arts and community events. They bring theatre and circus to unexpected places, to engage incidental audiences who may not always have access to the arts. From the subtle cameo to the grand parade, Circo Rum Ba Ba combines the surprising with the impossible, to produce a thrilling phenomenon of spectacle and show.

Marianne Grove trained with Imegi Circus in Japan and at the National Centre for Circus Arts (formerly Circus Space), London UK, gaining a wide range of circus and performance skills. She comes up with all the ideas for Circo Rum Ba Ba and always has more floating around in her wonderfully imaginative brain, making her the ideal person to create something unique for any event. Marianne also designs all the costumes and sets for all the acts.

Jennifer Webster trained in Musical Theatre at The Musical Theatre Academy, London UK. Upon graduating she started training in aerial circus trapeze at The Hanger London.

Jenny worked as a full-time performer and co-creator of several large scale Circo Rum Ba Ba productions for 12 years.

In addition to her circus work, she is also a personal trainer and has worked for various London-based gym companies such as Gymshark.
