A new adventure
I’m about to start initial research for a performance project aimed at children aged 5 and under, centring around the theme of adventure. This early stage research is generously supported by Starcatchers. For well over a decade I’ve worked as a professional juggler, performing in theatres, circuses and carparks across the globe. Looking for a change from constant travel and the London rental…

Gerry Cottle
Gerry Cottle | 7 April 1945 – 13 January 2021 I met Gerry Cottle at one of my first gigs in 2003, he was kind and treated me like a seasoned pro. What I remember of Gerry was that he warm, sharp and deeply cared about circus. Having lived the cliche and run away with the circus when he way 15, Gerry went on to found his own companies, direct shows and reached the rare status of self-made circus…

Public Fan Letters | Penn & Teller
Public Fan Letters | Penn & Teller
I’m currently reading ‘Steal Like An Artist’ by Austin Kleon which ties in to my interest in what seems to be a changing consensus on the origin and process of creativity, art and copyright law. One chapter mentions writing a public fan letter. Here’s one of mine…
I love Penn & Teller, they are not only my favourite magicians but also two of my favourite artists. I love their open and honest…

What Is Contemporary Circus? by Shana Kennedy
While I’m not convinced by the usefulness of the “Contemporary Circus” label this TEDx talk is well worth a watch, giving a nice overview of modern history in circus.

Nell Gifford - Authenticity
Nell Gifford – Authenticity
Nell Gifford has died.
I briefly met Nell years ago at an event at Circus Space but unfortunately never got to know her personally. I did however know Nell’s work, her shows, books and art.
It strikes me that Nell understood the brilliance of traditional circus, what unique offerings the art form possess and perhaps, what some of the shortcomings built into the art form are.

Video of the week – Yoann Bourgeois In case somehow you missed this one...
6 Luke and his stories... This is pretty much what I showed the manager at the casino when I began my croupier-training, just before the frenzied phone calls to the security office in South Africa and the promised addition of my name to the "not allowed to work in a UK casino" database. Oh well, probably all for the best!

Clown down – Rob Torres

Sad to report the death of Rob Torres, who was a remarkable and talented clown and throughly decent human.
https://vimeo.com/277675215
I first saw Rob perform in 2010 and was lucky enough to work with him a couple of times in a traditional circus in Italy not long after.
Every show he tried something new and ran over time. It wasn’t his fault. The audience fell in love…
