The Bio of DotDotDot
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reuben DotDotDot
Reuben DotDotDot was born in 1981, in Melbourne, Australia. At the age
of 11 he discovered gymnastics and spent the next 5 years training and
competing. At the age of 16 he looked at his competition leotard,
realised that purple and gold were not his colours, and quit.
He spent the next 2 years of high school, surfing skating, and
snowboarding. He continued to nurture these passions through the first
2 years of his degrees in Computer Science, and Philosophy ? and
subsequently failed them both.
Reuben then began training in earnest to become the Entertainer he is
today. On his way he acquired (completely legally) a diploma in small
company/community theatre, a huge range of circus and performance
skills from trainers and programs all over Australia, and a complete
loss of vertigo
Reuben DotDotDot trained, from 2006-2007, at the International
Acrobatics School of China. He specializes in Chinese Poles,
Handbalancing, Adgio, and Bounce juggling. In 2009 he was contracted
to Cirque Du Soleil as their Chinese pole specialist for 'Saltimbanco'.
