Renee Pilkington (AKA Miss Gail Force) was thrown into a circus school at age 9 after regularly finding herself dragged out of trees, hay lofts or what ever else she could climb. After completing her bachelor in Marketing and Media (Business) and refereeing soccer at state and national competitions Renee made her way back into the circus world as a producer, manager, rigger, artist and performer in WA. Specialising in aerial performance (and the occasional spinning of hula hoops and ripping of phone books) she has worked with NYC Fringe Festival, Prague Fringe Festival, Adelaide Fringe Festival, La Fura Des Baus and The Flying Lotahs.
