Rockie Stone is an Australian circus performer with a drive to create art with her body. In her work she investigates the body’s relationship to space and time; objects and risk. Her work has involved stark symbolism and abstract imagery and she has an interest in the dissection of form and improvisational technologies. Rockie has been a core ensemble member of Circa (2002-05) and Circus Oz (2007-10) and has performed throughout Australia and internationally.
