Amanda Crockett
Actor. Clown. Circus Artist.
Although her childhood ambition was to be the first woman in the NBA, Crockett started clowning alongside her father at age 9 and, 27 years later, created and performed a principal character and hat juggling role for Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson ONE. After training at Celebration Barn Theater and Circus Smirkus, she graduated from the Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theater and went on to study circus in Australia, Chicago and San Francisco. A world-class performer and coach, her work has been seen in over a dozen countries.

"Her trapeze act, performed with daring abondon, is a highlight of the show"

"Amanda helped me to feel confident and overcome obstacles in my training. I had been plateauing for some time and after just one lesson I could see improvement."
- Aaron Richards - Student
