Morgan Langham
Hiccup Circus Classes; Aerial, Juggling, Unicycle, Stilts, Tumbling, Acro, Directing
Morgan Langham ran away from the circus when she was 16 years old! She was raised in Talkeetna, Alaska with 30 dogs and 3 brothers, in a cabin without running water or electricity. When she was five, her parents put her in their circus perched high in a cloud-swing! She performed alongside her family and community in The Green Light Circus for years. Till she ran away to become a ceramicist, surfer, bicyclist, and builder. But luckily for us she has since fallen back in love with the circus! Now she is a juggler, clown and musician who moves and breathes for fun, excitement, beauty and oxygen!. Over the years she has performed with The New Old Time Chautauqua, Clowns Without Borders, The Bellingham Circus Guild, The Dream Science Circus, and annually with the Roustabout Circus as a performer, founder, director and organizer! In 2019 she became the Executive Director for Hawaii’s Volcano Circus.

Mika Kiburz
Hiccup Circus Classes: Clown, Juggler, Mime, Balance
Circus found Mika among renegade jugglers in the jungles of Hawaii, in 2010. Over the years she has participated in numerous juggling festivals, busked in many cities, performed for school groups in the United States, Central America, and has completed two Performers Without Borders tours in India. She led the 2016 tour of 8 performers, performed over 25 circus shows, and reached thousands of Indian and Nepali children in 4 months. First a juggler, now Mika is a believer in the healing power of sacred clown and through teaching adult workshops clown encourages us to be witnessed. She believes that social circus is truly a way to inspire confidence, cooperation, team building and create fun for kids and adults in a non competitive community. Mika is proud to keep returning to SPACE, a place where circus was introduced to not only her, but hundreds of others!
