From an early age Robert developed a keen interest in gymnastics and while still at school became highly proficient in many gymnastic disciplines. Although excelling in this sport he did not find the competitive nature quite so appealing, far more enjoyable was the actual performance especially before an audience.

Fuelled with an added interest in the stage and performing arts Robert naturally progressed into the world of circus where he was able to combine his strongest discipline, the Rings, with showmanship to create an exciting aerial act. For over a decade his 'Roman Rings' number was featured in many of Britain's leading circuses including Chipperfield's, Gerry Cottle's, Circus Berlin and Zippo's. In 1995 he appeared for a season at the world famous Blackpool Tower Circus from which continental engagements materialised taking him to France, Holland followed by two consecutive seasons touring Sweden.

The year 2001 saw Robert's return to Britain, invited once again to perform with Zippo's award winning circus but this time presenting an entirely different routine on the 'Aerial Straps'. A whole new routine was specially devised and perfected for that year's production, with gruelling acrobatics being performed with consummate ease and grace which has become Robert's trademark.

The success of this act has lead to more theatrical work including several Pantomime appearances and just recently a major tour of Taiwan in a glamorous Parisian style revue entitled 'Las Vegas Fantasy'. In such venues as these modern theatres Robert's spectacular flying sequences are particularly shown to their best advantage - taking flight from the stage, out over the audience and circling high into the auditorium.

Never failing an enthusiastic reaction, the breathtaking high-flying effects of Robert Foxall are an ideal feature for any cirque/variety show, pantomime or corporate event.
