PRESS REVIEWS"..., but it was
Ruby Rowat who had us on the edge of our seats with her solo trapeze act." "Ruby Rowat's trapeze
act is a crowdpleaser as the Vancouver native sweivels & twists in
her aviatrix outfit, hanging from the bar by toes, heels & knees." "Ruby Rowat's work
on the swinging trapeze made me whoop with pleasure and fear. And I liked
the fact that Rowat adopts a dashing, leather-goggled aviator persona
that helps inflect her work with dreamy lyricism." "Powerful, [Rowat]
swings up in her trapeze, throws herself backwards to hang by her knees.
In the next second, her whole body is outstretched, the only part of her
body touching the trapeze is the top of her feet. ...one of the few chosen
among many applicants to perform in this year's Cirkus Prinsessan Festival." "By the time she
slid back to earth, the crowd was deleriously, besottedly, hers ... In
the end, Ruby ... was the highlight of Friday's World Cycle Messenger
Championship closing party." "
...the trapeze woman, Ruby Rowat, who plays Princess Elektra, has
muscles out to here and .....she's pretty cute. .... It would be very
romantic.
" "
Ruby Rowat plays a pointy-boobed Electra with plenty of attitude.

Take a trip to the magical Circus Oz at the New Victory Theater in New
York City and you’ll see the zany Australian company reinvent the
impossible: Just when you think this animal-free one-ring circus can’t
possibly further stretch the limits - or your imagination - there
is...... the captivating Ruby Rowat, who sweeps out over the audience
on her trapeze, touching the ceiling with her toes; she dangles
precariously from one foot and then flips in mid-air only to grab her
trapeze at the last second. She literally makes you stop breathing!
This is possibly the most outrageous, mind-blowing, exotic
collaboration of talent you can possibly see, anywhere. They are
masterful in their feats and seem thrilled to be taking you on a trip -
…there is no return from the land of Circus Oz!
" "
I was completely heartened by the display of playful power from the
women in the company. ... Ruby Rowat rushes past us with willful
abandon on her swinging trapeze. I can't wait to bring my daughter to
the New Vic during its 10-year anniversary season to instill images of
flying bodies and people standing on each other's heads.
