Olivia Porter



Olivia Porter Olivia Porter - an amazing and quirky juggler.
Olivia was recently a hit at the ' Brisbane Pop Up' networking event at the Spiegeltent - September 2011.

Olivia has experimented with her skills across different arts and mediums to create a personalized performance base. By encapsulating her range of dramatic possibility and developing story lines Olivia provides audiences with more than just a demonstration or spectacle. She invites the viewers the opportunity of engaging with her onstage persona that is enriched with her quirky and unique circus choreography.

The following are some of her acts/characters:

A Bottle of Pills

A stray hospital patient in a busy hospital stumbles across a large bottle of giant pills............
This routine is superbly unique in both its skill and storyline. It beautifully translates a physical spectacle into a captivating piece of theater. It runs through a wide range of emotions from the playful to the sad to the outright absurd. The use of movement and manipulation of the objects leave the audience feeling the side effects of this medication.



Wind Up Doll

In a toy maker’s workshop a wind up doll discovers its own world of play. Due to faulty wiring in the doll she leaps into strange and awkward positions while doing so discovers juggling balls around her. Independence in her movements is found and as more balls are discovered and collected from the floor she slowly becomes more confident in the manipulation of these objects and how she moves around them. The fluidity of the balls against a backdrop of sharp and robotic movements is what gives this routine its beauty and originality.




The Cuckoo and the Clock

An old restless clock tired of monotony in its bleak daily routine decides to play a trick on its cuckoo.  This routine has a Tim Burton-esque feel with a strong emphasis on the strange and the quirky. The viewers are transported by a divine story that compliments the spectacle.

"Olivia Porter is so much more than just a juggler. Her performances highlight her attention to detail, her articulate physicality and her wonderful timing. More than just a juggler, she's the queen of Australian Jugglers."
-Rudi Minuer

"Olivia's routine was mesmerizing, flawless and full of magic. The strength of Olivia's character makes it hard to see the human inside the doll, combine this with high level juggling and fabulous music and you've simply got an incredible act. Highly recommended by the Melbourne Juggling Convention"
-Christian Parr, Artistic Director, Melbourne Juggling Convention.
