Gina Giovanni, Sally Chipperfields Circus,Clacton Pier, 1982. Belgian born Gina has followed in her hand-balancer parents footsteps. She is at present working with her sister, wire-walking for a circus in Austria. John Steinbeck has written that: "...the circus is change of pace -beauty against our daily ugliness, excitement against our boredom. Every man and woman and child comes from the circus refreshed and renewed and ready to survive. What doctor can do as much?"
