The late-night love-child of circus, comedy and cabaret, Werk It is taking over the Seymour Centre with high-flying antics, 90s hits and excessive amounts of high vis.

Full of big tricks and big personalities, the spandex-clad cast members of this acrobatic ode to dance floor bangers are exactly the kind of folk you want at your party. Let’s meet ‘em.

Lisa Lottie

Cabaret artist. TEDx speaker. Festival favourite and YouTube sensation.

A highly-skilled artist, Lisa was born in Amsterdam, began her career in a traditional circus in India, has trained at Escola National de Circo in Rio de Janeiro and holds a degree in Circus from the Conservatoire for Dance and Drama in London.

Lisa delights audiences everywhere from elegant supper clubs to celebrity galas, performing for brands like Harrods and Formula 1 to celebrities like Morgan Freeman.

Richard Sullivan

Learning at the comparatively late age of 14, he made up for the slow start with a competitive nature and fierce devotion to the art, taking him to the University of Dance and Circus in Stockholm, where he studied for three years to refine his knowledge and develop his unique style of juggling: grounded, sharp and low-key aggressive.

Other essential information about Richard: he has eaten the world’s hottest hot dog, he enjoys ridiculous fashion and has been known to indulge in excessive sarcastic dabbing.
