SINGAPORE: Watching cartoon characters and pop stars alike performing flips and stunts, a young Beverly Wan could see herself pulling off the same acrobatics.

It helped that she and her siblings were also picking up parkour from their father, a practitioner in his own youth.

"We wouldn't open the gate but climb over it. We'd jump over the wall to get into the house," she recalled.

Their mother on the other hand did Chinese dance, which Ms Wan later took up as well.

"I had the parkour experience, the dance experience, you put it together and you have a circus artist," she said.

At the age of 15, she wrote this goal down in her diary.

"I was like: 'What do I want to achieve before I die?'" she said. "I wanted to be part of a circus ... The idea kept developing until (it became) 'I think I need to run my own circus'."rich9

The big goal is for Frisque to be a permanent fixture in Singapore, but also be able to tour abroad, said Ms Wan. (Photo: Frisque)
