If you want to learn how to hang upside down suspended by silk, juggle multiple items at once or maybe just to try something fun and exciting then look no further than Theatre Arcturus.<\/p>\n

Huntsville\u2019s newest training facility for circus arts is located at the Beyond Obstacles gym at 741 Muskoka Road 3. They\u2019ve teamed up with the gym\u2019s owner Cassandra Glass to be able to offer a space for classes, rehearsals, and training in aerial silks, aerial hoop, juggling, stilt walking, roaming entertainment, and even aerial champagne-pouring, which apparently, has been a big hit at weddings.<\/p>\n

Since opening its doors to the community just over a month ago, Theatre Arcturus owners Lindsay Bellaire, ArtisticDirector, and Phillip Psutka, Executive Director, are thrilled by the local response they\u2019ve already received.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo far it\u2019s been great and we\u2019re really happy,\u201d said Psutka. \u201cRight now we\u2019re starting out classes with a mixed apparatus for people who haven\u2019t tried silks or hoops before and they have the opportunity to try both out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both Bellaire and Psutka have backgrounds in theatre and circus arts and were a highlight performance at this year\u2019s Nuit Blanche North with their flagship show, Weird. <\/em>The show has toured to theatres and schools across the province. Described as a \u201cmultidisciplinary show that blends original text and storytelling with circus arts, stage combat, and original music,” it won Best of Fest and was shortlisted for Critics’ Pick at the Ottawa Fringe Festival 2015.<\/p>\n

From top, Lindsay Bellaire as Witch 1, Emily Hughes as Witch 3 and Sheelagh Daly as Witch 2 in a performance of Weird at the Algonquin Theatre. The company created the original script which imagines the story of the three witches in Shakespeare’s Macbeth.<\/p><\/div>\n

Bellaire hails from Windsor and Psutka is originally from the Kitchener\/Waterloo area. The two met while enrolled in the acting program at the University of Windsor. Bellaire also trained in aerial arts at the Toronto School of Circus Arts, where she went on to become a coach. She has toured Ontario as a roaming entertainer\/stilt walker for festivals and events and received the opportunity to lead workshops in Victoria, BC last year. Psutka has extensive training in stage combat and has worked with kids and young adults as an actor, teacher, and fight choreographer. He has toured across Ontario as a stilt-walker, juggler and busker, and has performed with Humber River Shakespeare, the Toronto Fringe, Toronto Buskerfest and the television series Lost Girl<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Since we\u2019ve moved here it\u2019s been us jumping into as many things as we can. We\u2019ve felt very welcomed in the community.
\nPhillip Psutka, executive director of Theatre Arcturus<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was a strategic move for them to relocate from Toronto to Huntsville. Psutka indicated that it was tough in the city where there\u2019s a lot of competition in theatre and circus arts and it can be \u201cdifficult to be heard.\u201d However, with Bellaire having spent a lot of time in Algonquin Park during the summer months and Psutka passing through Muskoka on his way to shows, the two were already familiar with the area. But this past summer, certain networking opportunities arose while performing at Nuit Blanche North and they were able to connect with the right people.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe talked with a number of people in the community and found out that there was interest here in the kinds of things we do,\u201d said Psutka. \u201cIt was as well-calculated a leap of faith as we could have done. Since we\u2019ve moved here it\u2019s been us jumping into as many things as we can. We\u2019ve felt very welcomed in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Psutka explained that the theatre has three prongs to it: full main stage shows where there\u2019s always a script and storyline, classes, which are offered now at the training facility, and performing at events, parties and festivals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the circus arts, it always looks so flashy and challenging and sort of unattainable in terms what people can do,\u201d he said. \u201cJust trying it once, even for people who aren\u2019t interested and don\u2019t feel they want to become professional circus performers, can sometimes be amazed at how far they can get.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last Thursday, Theatre Arcturus offered a student performance of Weird<\/em> at the Algonquin Theatre. Although local public school students could not attend due to the Work-to-Rule action that is still going on, students from Tawingo College, Muskoka Montessori School as well as several children who are homeschooled and parents and members of the general public, received the opportunity to see what Theatre Arcturus is all about. After the show, those who attended were able to talk to the cast about the work they do and how the show is put together.<\/p>\n\n

And to be able to do aerial silks, or walk on stilts, or even become a master juggler, doesn\u2019t mean you have to start at a young age. Although Bellaire started dance when she was five, she didn\u2019t start getting into aerial arts until she was in her early 20s. She simply went full-tilt and \u201ctrained like mad.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Psutka, he\u2019s currently enjoying his new character role as the Not-So-Little-Tramp, emulating Charlie Chaplin while he walks on stilts nine feet above the ground.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome out and try it,\u201d Psutka said of what Theatre Arcturus offers. \u201cYou\u2019ll be surprised. It\u2019s a fun and interesting way to explore physical fitness.\u201d<\/p>\n
