360 Allstars Urban Circus Are Bustin' The Moves

Past Arts and Comedy Editor
Jess was scenestr National Arts and Comedy editor between 2014 and 2017.

World renowned athletes, dancers and musicians unite to perform a radical urban circus in '360 Allstars'.


Reinventing traditional circus, '360 Allstars' replaces acrobats with break dancers, substitutes a basketball freestyler in place of a juggler, swaps the unicyclist for a BMX flatlander, and sees a Roue Cyr artist put new meaning to the role of ring master. With artists from the UK, Europe, America, Australia and NZ, '360 Allstars' are a colourful allsorts collection with exciting and experimental expression.

Putting a tonne of awesome on stage, Gene Peterson (Australia multi-award winning master percussionist) notes that these are just a few of the crazy-cat stunts these talents can pull-off.

4: Using just his voice, Sam Perry records layer upon layer of music live, perfectly in sync with AV projections that visually representation each of the musical phrases.

5: B-boy Leerok defies gravity with "air flares", a B-boy power-move that involves continually springing from one hand to the other in a circular motion, whilst rotating in the air between each hand touching the ground.

6: B-boy Leerok spins on his head. It's enough to make you dizzy with excitement!

7: Peter Sore performing the "hitch-hiker". Someone should really show this guy how to ride a bike properly!
