Who are we?

Natasha McGhie – Founder and director.

Having worked in circus and theatre since a child. Born in London she started to learn to juggle at the tender age of 10 using oranges from her mothers fruit bowl. To save their poor fruit from bruising her parents saw fit to buy her juggling balls for Christmas and from then on Natasha has never looked back.
She left school at 16 to do her first professional job as a juggler at Legoland. From then on she has been lucky enough to perform in a variety of different venues and shows – from circus (Big Fun, No Fit State community and Bassline Circus), cabaret (Shambala, Lapland), improvised theatre (Gonzo Moose), festivals (Glastonbury, Woodford, Linz) and much, much more!!
In 2008 Natasha went to Australia and created her solo street show ‘The Felicity Footloose Show’ with which she has delighted audiences all over the world ever since!!

Having recently been lucky enough to spend alot of time with her gran (Pearl Cynthia) she has been inspired to carry on her Fit up theatre tradition and built her own trailer stage to perform on with thanks to the fabulous 101 arts space and David Southern.
