J Twist

J Twist is a Sydney-based circus, acrobatics and contortion artist with decades of industry experience. Their performance career spans festivals, cabaret, large-scale productions and aerial work, including performing 70 metres in the air for Legs On The Wall’s WorldPride show and appearing in Waverider for Sydney Festival.

At TMA, J teaches contortion and acrobatics, with a strong focus on building strength, flexibility and control while helping each student find their own pathway through movement. Their coaching is thoughtful, technical and grounded in extensive experience across performance, choreography and professional circus.

J brings a calm, understated presence to class, but don’t mistake that for being easy-going about the work. They know how to challenge you while keeping things supportive and achievable. And if you’re lucky, you might occasionally get a reminder of just how ridiculously capable they are when a casual flip appears out of nowhere.
