After a year away from the Bristol Pride Circus Night microphone, Alexa is back!(Let’s face it, she was never going to stay away too long)
Known for her dynamic performance skills in and out of the air, our resident Bristol babber will be providing authenticity and irreverent musings as our host for the evening. Join us and let Alexa’s flippant charm, wit and warmth accompany you throughout our spectacular show.
Zaki Musa is a queer international sensation, aerialist and pole dancer. They focus on creating work that balances identity and spectacle, whilst being rooted in grace and athleticism.
Originally from Singapore, they have now placed roots in London but travel across the world as an artist-maker wearing many hats. They’ve most notably worked with BIPOC pole collective Blackstage, and also international clown variety show Stamptown.
They also lecture at the National Centre for Circus Arts in contemporary circus and aerial disciplines, in addition to act creation and movement at Venus Pole London and Waking Dreams.
Zaki has an artistic practice looking at queer and non-white identity and censorship in the age of generative AI and the synthocene, exploring the intersection of AI, movement and queerness.
Ruby thinks that its the world that is is upside down, so she might as well be too.
At pride this sparkling bombshell of an aerialist will be performing her swinging trapeze act, perfected at festivals across the UK, as well as an experimental new duo act.
We are super excited to welcome her back!
Jade England-Johns (they/she/he) is a queer, award winning physical theatre, dance and circus artist who has been making thoughtful, playful and provocative work for over 15 years.
Most recently her solo work has become centred on themes of archetypal masculinity, their own gender fluid/ trans femme non-binary journey, honouring lost family and inviting self acceptance around his sexuality and gender. Their work always strives to be grounded in movement techniques, have integrity in its heart and a twinkle in its eye.
Jonny Leitch (He/They) has been an Aerialist and performer for over 10 years, is co-artistic director of Head Over Wheels, and a disabled, queer, handstanding human.
They have performed internationally at venues such as Glastonbury Festival, The Barbican & Bristol Old Vic.
Aperol Fritz was born out of a love for the flamboyant, new-romantic, gender-bending aesthetic. He trained at Circomedia and has performed at various burlesque and cabaret nights. After some time off due to injury, he is BACK.
Here, queer, and so ready to unapologetically quench your thirst!
