I'm Tom...I like circus, films and filmmaking, on top of a whole pile of other things which tend to just fall into subcategories of what I already like.
Either way, I hope you enjoy these musings.
One of my favourite training photos o far (even though it’s not fully extended). mainly because as well as the fact I’m all giggly, it looks like I’m balanced on a teeny tiny chair. Photo by Olivia Whitaker.
Meathook :D Glad to finally have this badboy back, I just need to get back to pulling up into it like I could once upon a time.
Working on descending the rope via drops and catches, I like it but I want to travel more in the drops. Cheers to Becca for taking the video for me.
Screengrab of me compering the Skylight Christmas show. I effectively bully audiences into applause. Compering is very, very fun
Practicing noose today. Messy as hell, but glad I figured it out, should be fun to play with in the future :)

I bloody love doing this climb, always gets an applause. But in my head I’m singing “craaaab people, craaabb people” It’s a funny one to do :)
Flag :D I love this move, pretty simple, but looks strong, held it for ages in the routine. Thanks again to Amy for the photography :)
Post-training note. This is actually a lot harder to do this pretty, long and strong left handed :p I suck at ambidextrous aerial arts, it’s a 2012 goal.
