Lachlan McAulay

Lachlan Mcaulay lives, breaths, sleeps and dreams circus and performance. At 13, a time when most young people still have no idea what they want to do with their lives, Lachlan joined The Flying Fruit Fly Circus, Australia's leading youth circus. He spent his teenage years combining circus training with touring and performing throughout Australia and the world. After graduation he kept pursuing his passion – first as a freelance performer and circus trainer, and then as a valuable member with Circa, one of Australia’s leading contemporary circuses. Off stage he is a highly skilled rigger, a ropes technician and prop maker.

Jesse Scott

Jesse can't remember a home that didn't have a trapeze hanging in the backyard, but can remember plenty of bath times in the sinks of circus caravans as a baby. Jesse spent 11 years training and touring under the watchful eye of some of the world's greatest circus trainers at The Flying Fruit Fly Circus, Australia's premier Youth Circus. He went on to work with companies including Legs on the Wall, A4 Circus Ensemble, Candy Stripe Circus and The Australian Opera, before becoming a full time ensemble member with Circa, one of Australia's leading contemporary Circus Companies. Jesse was an integral part in the creation of several successful Circa shows and spent three years touring internationally with Circa.
