2008-Present

I <finally> launched my website, www.RyanMellors.com and have been touring the world, showcasing the new and unique techniques in juggling and manipulation.

To see what I’m working on now, check out my current projects.

2005-2008

Arriving in London, I was fortunate to find a residency at “The Hangar” (click thumbnail to view) a live/work circus training studio in East London which served as a base for daily rehearsal and creative projects. I began performing with Full Moon Performers (Jago Parfitt) as well as busking in Covent Garden, a renowned stage for street performance. With Full Moon, I developed a 30 minute festival duet (Anomalies) showcasing some of the best new contact juggling and manipulation ideas, which we performed during the summers in England at various arts festivals.

2000 – 2005

I began performing in stage productions as a teenager; heavily involved in the theater program at my High School.  I was introduced to juggling at University (where I continued to study theater, as well as literature and film) and soon developed an attraction to the ‘infinite magical possibilities’ in 3 ball juggling.  I began to train in dance and juggling daily, and when I discovered the style of 1 ball juggling known as ‘contact juggling’, my passions took sharp focus.

After graduation, I moved to London England to pursue my interest and to collaborate with other artists. I soon developed a reputation as a a highly skilled and versatile juggler, and I began performing my work at festivals and corporate events around Eastern Europe with the help of various circus agencies.
