TRUAN JAY MATHIAS
Whilst growing up in the wilds of Wales Truan's childhood involved keeping himself entertained whilst attempting to master anything he could get hold of and always dreamt of showing these skills to the world. Little did he realise you could actually get paid for this...
Truan is an experienced and versatile performer working across the worlds of street theatre, walkabout, cabaret and corporate. Combining physical comedy with high level juggling skills Truan specialises in performing magical crystal ball manipulation and has set a Guinness World record in this discipline. Graduated with a foundation degree at Circomedia under the tuition of Bim Mason (Physical Theatre) and Rod Laver (Equilibristics and Manipulation - Juggling) Truan then completed his formal training with a Distinction at The National Centre for Circus Arts, in London.
Now performing nationally and internationally Truan will continue in the pursuit of his dream of performing worldwide, putting smiles on as many people's faces as humanly possible!
