SIMON HELM
Simon Helm (A.K.A. Diamond) has been performing locally as a circus artist for the last 6 years. Following his theatre studies at Humber College he was introduced to aerial silks. After years of specializing as an aerialist, Simon began to branch out and incorporate new skills into his repertoire. Simon began partnering with Kristin Nunes in partner acro routines. Simon also started taking pole classes, and in 2023 Simon performed his first pole piece at the Five Points Theatre as part of The Circus Company’s “Bodies In Balance” show.

Aisha started with The Circus Company in 2012 as one of the original performers on silks and lyra. Her circus disciplines have expanded to include stilt walking, bubble charming and most recently contact juggling, which this is her debut performance in. Aisha is also a musician and plays live locally. When not nurturing her artist brain, Aisha is a water scientist by day.
SARAH SHERMAN
Sarah Sherman has been a part of The Circus Company since 2015 starting out as a student and eventually becoming a coach and taking on other roles within the company! You will often find Sarah at events playing the role of stage manager behind the scenes but more recently she has begun to hone her skills as Ringmaster/emcee! Sarah’s favourite prop is a microphone and she loves any chance to hype up a crowd before ground and aerial shows! When she’s not coordinating events for The Circus Company or coaching aerial classes you can find Sarah training a variety of circus arts, going on adventures with friends or spending time with her nieces and nephew!"
