RECENT PROJECTS

2022

my circus valentine

In Winter 2021-2022, Leah Jones and Jody Poth created their uniquely choreographed female straps duet to a Valentine’s themed showcase for the Bellingham Circus Guild’s yearly show. This act has since been restructured with a more sultry and spectacle feel and is ready for a main stage debut! 

2021

Tu Si Que Vales (Rome, ITALY)

Originally created in 2019, the “Slingosel”, aerial sling trio (Jody Poth, Dream Frohe & PJ Perry) was crafted with use of a carousel-type apparatus, adding extra movement and dynamicism to the trio’s entertwining shapes and sequences. Italy’s prominant TV Show, Tu Si Que Vales (akin to Italy’s Got Talent), solicited this trio to come perform in front of a live audience in July, 2021 in Rome, Italy. The group received 5/5 Yes Votes from the judges and audiences!

2000

Cirque du soleil at sea

Duo Lumeria (Jody Poth & Julie Limoges) crafted a special iteration of their hoop duet, which premiered in CDS at Sea’s production, Varelia, aboard the MSC Cruise ship/ MSC Bellissima in Dubai (UAE) in Spring, 2020. 

2019

viva fest (Las Vegas, NV)

Jody’s solo hoop routine placed 2nd amongst the hoop division at the Viva Fest circus festival. This same week, Jody had successful auditions with Cirque Du Soleil. It was a good week!

2017

newcomer festival (Leipzig, Germany)

In July, 2017, Jody’s first duo hoop project, HoopDuality, was invited to participate in the Newcomer Festival at Krystalpallast Theatre in Leipzig, Germany. In Turn, Jody and Kirra won an award from Apollo Variete Theatre for their uniquely crafted,  ethereal act.
