Ms Vivian, 27, said she could not reveal the specifics of the performance, but said it was along the lines of a trapeze.
“They threw a bunch of trapeze artists and artistic gymnasts in as lab rats to figure out this event,” she said.
“No-one had ever coached it before, no-one had really seen it before, it was exciting and very dangerous.”
Ms Vivian, who officially retired from elite gymnastics on Saturday, said she had dreamed of joining Cirque du Soleil when she was a child gymnast and went backstage at a Perth performance. …

Olympic athletes who bring home the gold, silver and bronze for Team USA will no longer pay a “victory tax” for their achievement under a bill that President Barack Obama signed into law Friday.
The IRS will now be prohibited from taxing most medals or other prizes awarded to U.S. Olympians.
The U.S. Olympic Committee awards cash prizes to medalists, ranging from $25,000 for gold, $15,000 for silver and $10,000 for bronze. The cash prize comes on top of the value of the medals themselves: $600 for gold and $300 for silver; bronze medals aren’t worth much. …
But not all Team USA medalists will be exempt. The tax will still apply to high-profile athletes who earn at least $1 million a year, such as swimmer Michael Phelps.
