BEN

Circus Artist

“Being a circus performer is physically demanding and at times I find it incredibly difficult to carry on pushing myself to my limits day in, day out. It’s only when I get up on stage that I remember every time why I do what I do. Whenever I’m creating without boundaries I feel freedom—the feeling of being able to do whatever I want without someone telling me if I’m right or wrong.”

OCEAN

Athlete

“Knowing that I’m a physically strong woman really gives me a lot of power. I think the mental battle within yourself outweighs anything your physical body could ever achieve. I believe stepping out of your comfort zone is important for growth and pushing your boundaries. Let things feel uncomfortable and awkward until it feels natural. When you realize you’re only competing against yourself in everything you do, not just sport, that’s when you achieve freedom."

CONNOR

Skater, Artist

“I’m just a human who is trying to experience all that life has in store for me, learning new skills and life lessons as part of the fun journey. I push myself by really questioning if what I do is my best work. I like projecting what I’m feeling in the moment into my work. Because I didn’t study art, I feel like I have way more freedom than most artists. I am naive and oblivious, and it allows me to create authentic art with no constraints.”

“Movement has always played a massive part in my life. It allows me to be free and get lost in the endless ways our bodies can flow. The most important thing, for myself at least, is to not lose my individual style and creativity. Ensuring I’m creating work for myself and staying true to myself when doing so. Every artist brings individuality to their work and that is something we need to own.”

CHANTEL

Movement artist

“Movement work is my craft and practice, it’s a non-verbal language to me. I love being in touch with my muscles, my joints—it grounds me, it soothes me. What makes me feel audacious in my practice is trusting what I make. That it deserves a voice, to be heard and to be seen. Trusting my earnestness, and its journey with me.”
