Story by Alicia Abuliak
young man sits brooding with his head over a wine barrel—as he
stabs at it with a dagger, a young woman appears behind him in a
floral-printed dress. She stands against a platform. He rises and deftly
throws a stream of daggers, narrowly missing her and pinning a white
veil over her face and body. She rips through the cloth and tosses a
knife back to him.
He lifts her in the air as they switch places, and the dangerous act
begins again with growing intensity. She throws the knives at him and
then, as she moves back to the platform, knives strike below the hem of her dress, hit the board
just as her hand pulls away, barely miss her head as she poses in a handstand. He spins away
from her and strides back toward the barrel, sending a single kiss up to a sudden bright light.
This is not a clown pulling scarves out of a hat, this is not a dog jumping through hoops, but yet,
this is family circus.
Flynn Creek Circus, run by Blaze Birge and David Jones, is based in Mendocino, but the two
have toured the world, bringing their static duo trapeze act to audiences of all ages. Along the
way, the circus partners, who are also romantic partners, have thrown daggers at each other,
collaborated on scripts and choreography, and dangled each other from slender ropes at great
heights. And, they say, they have learned a thing or two about risk.

The Beginning
Fresh out of Eckerd College in Florida, Blaze Birge, then twenty-three years old, took a job at a
large jewelry firm in Austin, Texas. She was promoted as its regional marketing-manager for the
entire state of California, so she drove out to the West Coast. She brought a whole carload of her
college friends along with her, and explored Northern California, looking for somewhere near the
ocean that was affordable enough to stay: she found Albion.
Blaze rented a house on a mountain ridge and filled it with artists. She had earned degrees
in visual art and philosophy, and the artistic work she was exploring at that time involved
performance pieces that included installation. Wanting to learn more about technical rigging for
her large-scale hanging art projects, she applied and got accepted as an apprentice at a circus
school in England that she describes as more of a “sink or swim” circus intensive than a school.
Instead of taking classes, apprentices are trained while touring in the actual circus. Blaze had
never seen a circus in her life until she was performing in one.
Her first teacher, a Romanian woman she met there, came from a tradition of pure circus—she
was trained to use no mats, no nets, and no harnesses. “She was tough on everybody and
introduced me to the secretive world of family circus,” Blaze explains. By the time she came
back to her new home in Albion, she knew she wanted to form a circus of her own.

Circus – Continued from Page 2
seven years have passed. David and Blaze were invited to attend the extravaganza last year.
They performed their trapeze act with a live symphony.
Last summer, they produced for the first time their own circus and circus camp here in
Mendocino and Fort Bragg. They hired talent from home and abroad and set up a huge vintage
big top—red and white stripes on the outside and deep blue inside. This year they will do it
again, but additionally they are taking the circus on tour. They’ve hired the greatest acts they
have met in their travels and at home, and will haul their tent and new show to places they have
never been before.

David was twenty-one years old at the time, working as a cook at The Moosse Cafe in Mendocino.
He was bored. A friend told him about a woman who had moved to town who was teaching
trapeze, so David went to meet her at the bar, Dick’s Place, where she was working, and
introduced himself. They exchanged numbers, and Blaze called him back to start some classes.
He studied with her for eight months and then shipped off to Zippo’s Academy of Circus Arts in
England, the same circus training school that she had attended two years before. He says he
went “expecting hell, but instead got purgatory.”
Blaze is petite and fiercely strong, and though her voice is melodic and soft, you can see
immediately that this is a person with tremendous drive, vision, and will. You do not get to be
one of the best trapeze artists in the world by chance.
David is sparkly, with a head of brown curls and bright eyes. He moved to Mendocino from
San Diego at the age of twelve and, after an initial adjustment period, collected a great group
of friends with whom he attended Mendocino Community High School. David was always
physically driven, and through high school he practiced dance, martial arts, and could walk
around on his hands effortlessly. “Mendocino values art and creative thinking in a way that my
other communities didn’t. This allowed me permission to explore crazy ideas like joining the
circus,” he says.
His experience in England was not at all like Blaze’s. There were eleven students instead of
three, and the Romanian instructor was defeated and concerned after having watched a student
fall and not recover well just before David’s arrival. She had lost her drive and inspiration and
had become bitter and angry. Nonetheless, he called it a “good experience,” as he had gained
the tools he needed to hone his skills, and learned a breed of uncompromising self-discipline
that shaped his approach to his new career.
He knew he had finally found work he could sink his teeth into, work that promised the creativity
he craved, but that was less pretentious than what he’d found in the theater and dance worlds.
“It was a little bit of sport, and a lot of monster truck,” he elaborates with a laugh. He loved that
it was action-based, not didactic. He liked all aspects of the craft, especially the need for humor.
Around the World
The Trapeze Act
David runs in to find Blaze casually perched in a red-and-white polka dot dress on stage and
pulls her up to dance. She flips then gets a boost up to a rope amidst a wailing soundtrack from
the rockabilly band Stray Cats—then they climb a single rope, Blaze’s feet overhead and David
with his arms alone as he pumps his feet out in front of him. They meet again to flirt on a trapeze
strung high in the air and begin spinning and catching one another. David holds Blaze’s single
foot in one hand as she dangles upside down in the splits.
They smile coyly, then David suddenly drops, to hang from his armpits from Blaze's feet. After
flipping and snaking around one another in a sinuous display of strength and ingenuity, they sit
side by side as David places a band around Blaze’s neck. He drops to hang by his ankles as she
spins, dangling by only the strap wrapped to their two necks to support her—faster and faster
she twirls, and the music fades as they jump down and dance off stage.
This is the act that has garnered for them worldwide fame. They have three songs they use for
variations on the same routine, two jazz and one rock and roll. “I love the trapeze act—it’s given
us the notoriety that makes it possible to tour,” David says.
They quickly became a sought-after duo, and
have been hired by professional circuses to
perform in Mongolia, India, Europe, Monaco, New
Zealand, New Caledonia and Fiji, and elsewhere.
It is a jarring lifestyle, as they are six weeks here,
three weeks there, and constantly on the move,
but ultimately the peripatetic existence became
a way to support their dream: to form a circus at
home in Mendocino.
They were last away in Germany. They spent
weeks performing in the Tigerpalast Varieté,which
showed in a classic, historic theater in Frankfurt.
The theater seats just two hundred people and
they performed their trapeze act suspended so
low that the audience could feel a breeze as their
bodies flew by. From there they performed two
or three times a day for Weltweihnachtscircus in
Stuttgart for a month. They describe the show
as beautiful and mind-blowing, featuring some
of the best circus talent in the world. The tent
held three thousand people and was completely
packed for every show.

we travel down a bumpy road, “it’s earth moving—even if the trick is exactly the same, it won’t
mean the same thing.”
David started to enjoy risky things around puberty. He told me it is something he deeply values.
The risk they take by not using mats was standard in the seventies in traditional circuses, but
now they only know of one other trapeze duo in the world that is doing it at their level and height.
He believes in it enough to hold his wife’s life in his hands daily.
Their love story took a long time to develop. When they began working together Blaze was in a
relationship, but as that relationship melted away she and David resisted the urge to become
more than professional trapeze partners. They feared it would ruin what they had worked so
hard to perfect. But a few months into their first tour across the United States in an old Airstream
trailer they had renovated together, they began reading The Zombie Survival Guide by Max
Brooks and realized it had to be.
They had been performing three shows a day and traveling hundreds of miles at night. “We
accidentally fell in love while discussing zombie escape plans,” Blaze says. They spent all of
their time together, shared a truck payment, a bank account, and even a single cell phone before
they were ever romantically involved. “Working together allowed us to form trust,” says David,
“the most important ingredient in a relationship.” Their romance did not ruin the act. Instead, it
made it even stronger.

There are a few things that make their act completely out of the ordinary, the first is that,
through the many catch-and-release tricks, they use absolutely no mats or safeties of any kind
and work at death-defying heights.
The other notable feature of their act, is that they don’t pause and let the audience clap—it’s a
fluid dance—they move through tricks, pulling each others’ bodies up and around and flipping
each other through the air to tell a whole story.
“I’m not attracted to risk.” Blaze shares as we drive down the road in a big white pickup truck
trying to complete one of many last-minute errands before they leave town, once again, for a
six-week contract in St. Louis. “But I don’t let it interfere with my overall goals. I want to do
something, and I don’t want fear to be an obstacle.” She has never been hospitalized during a
performance, though she has been dropped.
In Germany recently she saw another trapeze artist she admired backstage. Blaze stopped the
girl and said, “Hey! I liked your act.” The girl looked deep into her eyes and replied, “Yeah, but
what you guys are doing is real.” This brought home to Blaze what the element of risk means
to the act and its audiences. “When you watch something without any safety,” she explains as

They came home from their first tour pregnant and in love. They had left as two professionals
and returned as a family. Since then, they have gathered the skill sets, reputation, and money to
get their tour off the ground. They have lived in all kinds of situations and supported each other
through a broken nose, weddings, births, deaths—all while raising a beautiful child.
Their daughter Jacy Rose is now eight years old. She is fiercely independent and, though she
gets uprooted a lot, she is vibrant and outgoing. Jacy performed a Tom Waits song entitled
“I’ll be Gone” in last year’s circus performance. Blonde curls framed her angelic face, and she
wore a top hat as she sang of stealing your paycheck, cutting the hearts out of pharaohs, and
disappearing in the morning.
Flynn Creek Circus on Tour
There are two ventures this summer—this year’s fledgling tour and circus camp. They will take
their tent and talent to eight locations, kicking it all off in Friendship Park, in Mendocino. This
launch is exciting, but it is also a risky undertaking. If it is anything like last year's performance,
expect to see a contortionist shoot a bow and arrow with her feet, local dancers fly from
chandeliers, and aerialists, musicians, and jugglers make magic under the big top.
They will also host two weeks of circus camp in the beginning of August. Last year during circus
camp kids were smiling and laughing; some stretched on a mat and others practiced swinging
trapeze (with a harness) twenty feet in the air; some pranced across a tight wire, while others
climbed the Chinese pole; another group worked on synchronized miming skills for their endof-camp performance. One mother remarked, “Don’t you wish school was like this all year
long?” Flynn Creek Circus feels very supported by this community and Blaze and David say it is
important to them to bring new opportunities to young, creative minds on the Mendocino Coast.
Circus Camp brings them and the rest of Flynn Creek Circus into the lives of kids and families
all over our area.
“A show has to have lots of artistic voices, it’s boring to have just one,” Blaze comments as we
admire a colorful, brightly painted gypsy wagon they will pull in this summer’s caravan. It was
built recently in a barn up Little Lake Road by ArtStruct. Two brothers, Yorgen Kvinsland and
Cody Chancellor, took the idea of a gypsy wagon, pulled it through the knothole of their artistic
vision, and came up with an ironic contemporary version.
Part of Flynn Creek Circus’ mission is to engage local artists of all kinds—not only circus
performers, but also writers, photographers, actors, constructors, and dancers. Flynn Creek
Circus’ motto is “Pushing tradition to the edge.” That is what they do, take classic circus and
imbue it with new vision and voices.
As we trundle up Albion Ridge at the end of the day, the sun and errands behind us, Blaze looks
out of her window over an open field. “Of all the places we have ever been, this is the most
beautiful. This is definitely home.”
Upcoming California
