24.01.2022 We want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone that came and played with us at Inland Sea of Sound this weekend!! We held free play workshops with manipulations such as juggling, diablo, plate spinning and more! There were also some cheeky little pop up clowning performances that we did throughout the day. These packages were fantastic for the freedom of a festival... as well as birthday parties and casual events. If you are interested in what Junkyard Circus could bring to your next event get in touch with us and we can let you know more about what we have to offer

24.01.2022 Thank you so much for all the love that we have been getting this past month We are so happy to be able to introduce ourselves to you, and so we have one final post for the month, an intro to Junkyard Circus as a whole

20.01.2022 If you’re interested in something a little bit different and a little bit strange you should come along with us to the BRAG gallery opening. We'll be there before speeches, and maybe even after if you want to come explore Wonderland together. We're getting to do something a little bit different for this event, but its a secret, so to see what it is you’ll just have to follow us down the rabbit hole and find out...

20.01.2022 BRITTANY MYERS - MARKETING MANAGER AND PERFORMER!! Brittany began performing with dance lessons at the age of 5, and then never really stopped. She joined drama classes with Marian Street Theatre for Young People at the age of 10, and then began performing in their children’s theatre productions in 2011, performed in 6 productions with them, with her last in 2015. She then graduated high school and moved to Bathurst to study a Bachelor of Communications (Theatre/Media). She began training with Junkyard Circus in late 2017, and then performed for the first time with them at the Orange Business Chapter Awards night, and has since become one of the troupe. She is working to expand her skills in all areas but is currently focusing on hoops and basing (and flying) in partner acro.

17.01.2022 Some very cools photos from a performance we did at a community event in May 2018. The Tremain's Mill Light Bazzar was such a cool time, and we were able to wow the audience with multiple fire performances including fire staff and fire fans We would love to be a part of your next event, and all it would take is shooting us a quick message, either through our Facebook page or at our contact email address!!

16.01.2022 EMMA VAN VEEN - PERFORMER!! A current student of the Bachelor of Communications (Theatre/Media) in Bathurst, Emma has always had a passion for performance and stage craft. These interests lead her on a new path in 2017 when she was a principle performer in the opening ceremony for Sprung Festival, a role which required her to learn the basics of circus and fire twirling. Once she picked up the fire fans it’s safe to say she never put them back down. This newly lit love carried her toward joining Junkyard in early 2018 with a performance at Tremains Mill. Specialising in fire fans and partner acro (basing), Emma is excited to hone her skills with the troupe, finally learn how to handstand and pass on her knowledge to others.

15.01.2022 To start off the year we'd love to introduce you to our lovely performers and troupe members!

Matt's background is in musical theatre, plays, choirs, and bands before branching into dance, physical theatre, and circus.

Born in Orange NSW, his dreams of generating creative opportunities for developing artists are realised in Junkyard Circus.

13.01.2022 Matter Manipulation workshops with Junkyard Circus!! Ever been curious about what circus training can do for you? In this workshop participants experience juggling, acrobatic balances and group games as a method for reflecting on how we manage our time, relationships, and health. Juggling helps our brain coordinate, while acrobatic balance is not only an exciting and challenging way of working with other people in trust dynamics, it also gives us a vocabulary for wh...en working as a community. The morning session is for juggling and the afternoon session is for acro balance, with games scattered throughout. Each session is an hour and a half with an hours break in between. These workshops are to be run in late February, to register an interest and to receive a quote on prices please send us a message on Facebook or email us at [email protected]

13.01.2022 KIARA MARTIN - PRODUCTION DESIGNER AND PRINCIPAL PERFORMER!! Kiara’s love for circus began during a touring school workshop in her year 10 drama class and ever since she has wanted to be a part of the circus community. It wasn’t until she came to Bathurst in 2016 where her love for circus and performing was really ignited through the Bachelor of Communications (Theatre/Media) and her many mentors throughout the years. She has a passion for Lyra, Hoops and Acro Balance and is currently working on building her strength so she can both base and fly confidently so as to help others learn!
