Ground-based circus performer with acrobalance skills

Mimbre is keen to work with performers from different backgrounds and body shapes. We don’t define a strong skill-set as simply particular moves or techniques done to a high technical level; we are seeking performers who can strongly impress an audience with their skills, performance and presence combined and we are prepared to invest in training the right candidate.

• This opportunity consists of paid training sessions, rehearsals and touring dates from January – September 2026.
• Must be available 30th March – 10th April 2026 for a possible overseas performance.
• Must hold a valid passport with at least one year remaining from the audition date – please only apply if you have one!
• Experience in acrobalance as a middle is essential: middle 3 high and other trio pyramids, basing hand-to-hand. Some experience in basing banquine very desirable, but we will invest in training the right person for the role. Must have professional performing experience.
• This is a part-time, fixed term freelance role. Between January and April 2026 we estimate between 10-15 training dates, 1 week intensive training and 2 weeks rehearsal. From April we estimate 9+ gigs (ranging from 1 – 5 days each), but this might vary as the tour is confirmed. See more details in the linked webage.

Weight(less) is a 35-minute self-contained family friendly performance, created for outdoor festivals, with minimal set and a cast of three performers.

The trailer from the 2024 version is available via our website, but the show will be adapted and developed according to the new performers’ skills.
