Liam Dummer

Liam Dummer produces and performs circus-theatre productions from his base in Melbourne, Australia, specializing in narrative-driven acrobatic spectacle. His signature work, Elixir Revived, premiered at Adelaide Fringe and combines strength-based circus acts with physical comedy storytelling. The production established its festival presence through multiple Adelaide Fringe seasons and secured a 2026 return engagement. Dummer maintains a monthly residency at Arts Centre Melbourne's Spiegelhaus venue, where Elixir Revived runs as an immersive variety format. The show integrates burlesque performance elements with traditional circus disciplines, featuring rotating guest artists from Melbourne's variety scene. This ongoing production serves as a platform for cross-disciplinary collaboration between circus, physical theatre, and cabaret performers. The creator-performer works primarily in Australian festival circuits and cultural venues, focusing on theatrical circus presentations. His performance practice spans acrobatic disciplines, physical comedy, and production design. Dummer develops work for both traditional theatre spaces and specialized circus venues, adapting show formats for different presentation contexts.
