Circus Elements performer and owner Scott Griffin  taught students the ins and outs of performing.

Students had the chance to learn how to juggle like a professional among other special and unique skills. 

Mr Griffin travels to towns across Australia to perform shows and teach students the basics of being a circus performer. 

He said he was also working at the Natimuk Show on Saturday, where he would be walking on stilts and juggling, along with running a workshop and a 30-minute performance. 

“It’s primarily me travelling around teaching and performing,” he said. 

“The initial spark for teaching is seeing juggling, seeing a few people and thinking ‘wow, that’s amazing’ and I wanted to do what they are doing.” 

Mr Griffin was part of a performance trio called Circus Elements where they travelled around and performed for nine years on the road. 

“We had little performing ability but we had a lot of enthusiasm, we developed our acts and developed our business model,” he said. 

Mr Griffin said he enjoyed teaching school students how to do the basic fundamentals of circus performing. 

“The kids are really receptive and they love learning new skills,” he said.
