Tall Paul and Diana Cadabra

Tall Paul - best known to many as Frankie Magilligan - began his love affair with Circus last century and is a master of juggling (balls, clubs, knives, hats … nothing is safe!), unicycling, stilt walking, diabolo and beyond - all served up with a generous drizzle of banter and tomfoolery! Diane Quate has been a performer and circus tutor for over 20 years having previously trained in contemporary dance.

Street circus has been a huge part of her career - collaborating, devising and performing for companies including Yella Fever Foundation, The Magilligans and The Raven Sisters.

She enjoys making elaborate costumes and creating interesting characters for festivals and community events, incorporating an array of circus skills including stilt walking, juggling, hula hooping, diabolo and hat manipulation.
