Circus Studio Koh Samui
A visit to the island of Koh Samui in 2013 the Circus Studio Koh Samui was an unknown. The land the studio stands on was a piece of baron land unloved and uncared for. The Samui Circus was a dream yet to awakened by the talented Poppy Sanman. In 2013 the island fire performers were exhibiting their skills on the beaches of the bars they worked at. The tourists were enthralled by the talent of the performers and craved more. On the party beaches of Koh Samui, the demand grew for bigger and better fire performances. Using their bare hands and hard work the team built the Circus Studio Koh Samui from scratch. The structure and the studio facilities are hand-built by the dedicated team. The dream is now a reality for Poppy and the performers.

Performers Samui Circus Studio
In the early days, the fire performers worked as the waiters and bartenders at the island’s hotels and resorts. The constant practice of using tennis balls on ropes after a days work in the heat was a tough commitment. The performers never gave up practising to improve their art. As a collective group, they entertained the tourists into the early hours of the morning and still be at work for the breakfast shift. When Poppy’s idea of a studio started the dream for the fire boys began. The talented Poppy and his team push themselves to physical and emotional limits to be the best and give the best. The work of the team is paying off and the circus is a growing success evolving daily with new ideas and performances.
