About Me
My name is Cathal Carroll, I'm Irish and I live in Tuscany.
I became a performer in 2000 after training in Belfast Circus School. I have worked in numerous creative fields from improv and circus to Shakespearian theatre. My career has brought me to countless cities across 14 countries and I have performed a variety of shows in 5 languages.
In this time I have also worked regularly as a circus and theatre facilitator with young people and adults.
I now dedicate most of my time to working with young people, teaching theatre through English or English through theatre, depending on your point of view.
