Podcast ist echt nicht einfach! – A Conversation with Liza van
Brakel Circusmaker
In this episode of Podcast ist echt nicht einfach!, I sit down
with Liza van Brakel, a Dutch juggler and movement artist whose
unique style merges hip-hop dance influences with club
manipulation. Her work is visually striking, highly physical, and
pushes the boundaries of contemporary circus. We take a deep dive
into her latest show, "Inside Juggling", created with Compagnie
Hippana Maleta. This performance explores our relationship with
our own mediated image—touching on themes of authenticity,
perspective shifts, self-presentation, and digital
self-optimization. With clubs, cameras, and live projections,
Liza challenges our perception of reality, crafting a world of
vivid imagery, unexpected moments, and choreographic
finesse.
We also talk about:
How she discovered circus and developed her unique
style
Performing with Gandini Juggling in a massive opera in New
York
"Galop" – her bicycle circus show, where she transforms her pink,
white, and purple bike into a parade horse and tours festivals
and villages. With a tent on her back, juggling tricks, bike
bells, water bottles, and clever bicycle mechanisms, she creates
an interactive, ever-changing outdoor performance.
Buitengewoon & Circusstad Rotterdam – an inclusive circus
project where people with mental disabilities perform alongside
professional artists.
Tune in now for a deep dive into contemporary circus, movement,
and creativity!
