Beginning his circus journey at the age of 11, Jonathan has spent over a decade developing a multidisciplinary practice that combines circus technique, audience interaction, physical comedy and contemporary performance. His work draws on a wide range of disciplines and explores how circus can create meaningful shared experiences between performers and audiences.

Jonathan has performed extensively throughout Singapore and internationally. His appearances include Singapore Night Festival, Chingay Parade, Georgetown Heritage Festival (Malaysia), Gwangju Fringe Festival (South Korea), Edinburgh Fringe Street Events (United Kingdom), Lisboa Mágica (Portugal) and numerous festivals, public events and cultural programmes across Asia and Europe.

His performances have entertained audiences ranging from public festival crowds and family audiences to corporate clients, schools, community organisations and arts festivals.

Jonathan graduated with a First Class BA (Hons) in Circus Arts from the National Centre for Circus Arts in London, one of the world’s leading circus institutions. Alongside his performance practice, he develops original circus works, directs collaborative projects and mentors emerging artists through workshops, training and community initiatives.
