Juggling at the Edge of the World

A self-reflective adventure of turning thirty and realising that although you could have become something useful like a doctor, stories are medicine too. Waiting to be found, danced, made and un-made; arranged to give the illusion of coherence amidst the inexhaustible chaos of being.

Juggling at the Edge of the World brings audiences to a poetic performance world that invites reflection and reimagining. Through games of discovery, within the cracks and crevices. Puzzling together meaning with a judicious collection of fragments and everyday moments. Physical storytelling through an eco-feminist lens.

Celebrating the un-heroic, being reckless with the fine china, bubbles as choreographers, and the relentlessness of the womb. A show for anyone who is, or has ever loved a woman.

Artist Bio
Poppy Emer Greenford is a circus artist & director from West Cork. Her work weaves together threads of circus, storytelling and ecology. With a passion for devising and developing creation methodologies, she takes big ideas and turns them into bite-size chunks of re-imagining for her audiences to consume.

Graduate of Circomedia, school of contemporary circus and physical theatre with a BA in performance (2019) and an MA in directing circus (2021), & in 2025 she completed a postgraduate short course at SKH circus, Stockholm University of the Arts titled ‘Research Design in Circus’.

She has developed her own unique style centred around integration techniques within a meaning and movement context, creative writing informs physical metaphors, and juggling technique informs manipulation of everyday objects.

Inspired by nature and our complex human relationship to the earth, as well as an understanding that art is activism and stories shape the world.
