Roisin Morris is an Irish circus artist specialising in swinging trapeze. She is a graduate of The Circus Space in London, where she obtained a first class honours degree in Circus Arts and was awarded "Student of the Year" in 2009.

Roisin trained as a women's artistic gymnast for 17 years, competing in international events including the Youth Olympics (1997), and winning the Irish National Individual title for two years running (1999, 2000). She has completed a FETAC certificate in Dance, encompassing classical, contemporary, jazz and hip-hop styles, and musical theatre. She has also done a variety of stage and film work.

 In her trapeze act Roisin combines an explosive, energetic style with an emotive connection to the audience. The result is a dynamic performance, fusing highly technical acrobatic skills with graceful, fluid movement, exposing a world of fun, pleasure and excitement. One of the highlights of Roisin's career to date was her graduating solo performance for the Circus Space, "Carpe Diem". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aZPWVT2yYI.

This devised swinging trapeze act is brimming with jaw-dropping tricks set against a dramatic musical backdrop. Visually stunning, it was described by The Stage magazine as a " dynamic swinging trapeze number, set to Muse's Knights of Cydonia. Dressed as a pixie-ish punk in a miniature blue kilt and orange boots, with her hair in spiky bunches, she performs with energy and enthusiasm, and makes a good connection with the audience. A lunge is required by the Circus Space but it enables her to do pirouettes into catches that otherwise might not be possible." March 2009.
