He starred in Europe's premier circuses—Roncalli and Knie—before becoming an original Cirque du Soleil creator, performing in Nouvelle Expérience and directing Kooza. His collaboration with Bill Irwin produced the Tony Award-winning Broadway hit Fool Moon. Shiner's work transforms audiences into co-conspirators, holding up a mirror to society with antagonistic charm. A master of physical comedy and improvisation, he bridges street performance, circus, and theater, redefining contemporary clown artistry with fearless spontaneity.
