Artist Nicci Wilks from Australia came back to Germany

Nicci Wilks (AUS)

18 months after the first 10 weeks training in Germany in autumn 2001, Nicci Wilks from Australia did again the long trek to do another training course in wheel-gymnastics.
She spent two weeks in Aschaffenburg, to refresh and intensify her skills in gymnastic-wheels.
Besides the intensive lessons under the special direction of the cMonika Väthbrückner in Aschaffenburg, Nicci Wilks could share in the training of the gym-wheel group of the club TuS Aschaffenburg-Leider, to stabilise the new exercises.

Nicci in Action!

For many years, Nicci Wilks was member - onstage and offstage - of the ensemble of Circus Oz, the biggest australian circus. One year ago, she decided to work freelance. During the last months, she played a part in several productions of theater and circus, where she showed her multifaceted artistic skills. She did wheel-acts and inspired the australian public with her 'mouse-act' in a 'rhoeni', a small wheel without handles and boards, normally used in basic training lessons for children.

In addition to her performance, Nicci Wilks is teacher of the australian circus school 'National Institute of Circus Arts' (NICA). There she passes her knowledge in wheel-gymnastics on her students.
