The combination of her strong academic background and tactful nature play an important role in setting up organisational structures

Michelle Fok is a multi-skilled professional with training in Architecture from the University of Pretoria, as well as in Public Health studies at honours level from Monash South. Her research for her honour’s thesis covered the positive effects of Cirque arts training on young people with a positive HIV status. 

She was introduced to the arts very early in her childhood where she was exposed to various dance disciplines including modern, tap, Latin, contemporary and ballroom. Her career has evolved to include Pilates, aerial and pole training, performing across South Africa and on several other international stages. 

Michelle currently sits as one of the Directors at The CIRK where the combination of her strong academic background and tactful nature play an important role in setting up organisational structures. Her analytical mind and organisational skills have allowed her to setup up strong administrative systems that ensure smooth day to day operations across all departments at the CIRK.
