Crash - The Ringmaster
Juggler, ringmaster and sideshow freak. He is the driving force behind DC. He is known to juggle random objects, knives, torches and whatever else you've got. With a thing for tequila and hammering nails into his nose, you had better keep your nails safe and well away from his schnaz. And your tequila? Well you had better learn to share.

Au 4 Ag (gold 4 silver) - Miss Ruby Zahra and Xavier Love
Miss Ruby Zahra and Xavier Love weave an aerial space-age love story between gold and silver.
With her metallic lustre and silver wings, Zahra is a creature spawned from a fragile spiderweb who tarnishes upon exposure to oxygen and is unable to resist contact by the elements. Xavier is a future human meshed of gold and industrial pieces, a malleable being reflecting the radiation of a damaged world and exuding currents of electricity and heat.
Set in the tangled ropes and bars of the trapeze, far above the contours of earth and confines of linear time, these two elements are fixed to seek ever higher melting and boiling points of desire.
Breathless and moving aerial stunts about unattainable love and impossible passion.

Prepare to be shocked and seduced, titillated and teased, as you step into her firey underworld
David D. Deville
From the outskirts of Melbourne, David D Deville has made his presence felt in the circus performing community in the short time he has come onto the scene, we still haven’t decided if that’s a good thing yet…
With a background in traditional circus skills, children’s entertainment and fire performances, he soon desired for something more. What evolved out of this was a being of eccentric characterizations, hair-raising sideshow prowess, random acts of escapology, un-medicated stupidity and a lust for women to touch his body.
No matter what he gets up to, you can expect to be indulged with a quality mix of humor, intrigue, delight and moments where you don’t want to look but know you have to.
Missy
When Missy was a young girl she wanted to be Cynthia Rhodes when she grew up. Cynthia's ability to combine dancing and gymnastics had landed her roles in movies such as Flash Dance and Dirty Dancing. The bubble burst when Missy realised that Cynthia was, and still is, married to Richard Marx.
Still on a quest to combine dancing and gymnastics, Missy stumbled upon Pole Dancing nearly five years ago. She was instantly in love...and bruised. Missy developed from eager student, to teacher and performer, having recently competed in the national finals for Miss Pole Dance Australia.
Having discovered that she just really loves being upside down, Missy has added tissue, static trapeze and lyra to her repertoire. At the last Dark Circus Missy showcased her pole skills. The upcoming Dark Circus is the premier of her lyra skills.

DJ Micah DJ'd at various clubs in San Diego and LA back in the late 90's. He was also a regular DJ in Melbourne for 3 years at Heresy, Carmilla's and Cabaret Nocturne and recently at Die Maschine, Wake the Dead and Ascension in Sydney.
