I can provide both stage and ambient performance. Currently the acts I have ready for stage are: solo juggling (3min) solo dance trapeze (5min), duo club juggling (4min) and tight wire walking (4min). These are in the style of contemporary circus, weaving a strong dance influence into the acrobatic elements of each discipline. With a month's advance notice I can create an act to suit your needs, however the more notice I have the more I can suit your needs!
As for ambient I currently am offering roving ball and club juggling, contact juggling, as well as ambient trapeze performance. I provide entertainment for all ages, my background in teaching has given me so much experience working with kids, and my time in customer service means I know how to interact with all ages. I can become a specific character or style to fit your needs!
Primarily a solo ball juggler and dance trapeze artist, Meghan moved to Portland OR to focus on training circus arts after finishing her undergrad program at the University of Vermont where she studied linguistics, French, and dance. Growing up in The Flying Gravity Circus she learned skills across many circus disciplines including partner acro, tumbling, tight wire, and more. Since graduating from The Circus Project’s Elements Training Program, she has performed solo acts for audiences big and small as well as directing and producing full length ensemble shows. Outside of performing she teaches at three Portland circus schools, continuing her passion for teaching that she has kindled for ten years.
Outside of circus, Meghan is a competitive gymnast in Men’s Artistic Gymnastics, Women’s Artistic Gymnastics, and Trampoline and Tumbling. She competes through the National Association of Intercollegiate Gymnastics Clubs and has won a handful of national and regional titles. On her rest days she loves to read on the couch and walk through the neighborhood to pet all the friendly cats.
Dance ball juggling and club passing are relatively versatile disciplines. A smooth floor and 20' ceilings are ideal, however it is possible to make these work outside on grass, or with shorter ceilings with enough notice.
My needs for tightwire are a level and smooth floor- the rig is 2' high so it fits well in a regularly sized room.
My aerial needs are more in depth. As is the practice in the aerial industry, I will only perform from points that have been inspected by an engineer or a rigger to ensure my, and the guests, safety. For my stage act I prefer ceilings of 20' or more, however with notice I can create a low trapeze act as well. As aerial poses more questions, I would love to have a conversation with you!
I hold insurance from Specialty Insurance to cover aerial, acrobatics, and juggling.
