TRIX CIRCUS - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Social Media Manager and Events Promoter
Allison was born in Sydney and moved to the Gold Coast with her family at 5. She always wanted to get into some kind of performing arts. From young age, she was always asking to do dance, gymnastics, modelling and singing, however living in the Gold Coast hinterland made attending lessons impossible. In early 2014, she searched for a "non boring" way to stay fit and found aerial classes. She was hooked after the first session and hasn't looked back since.
Her desire to express herself creatively and grow as an aerialist led her to Trix Circus… where she quickly became part of the team. Her consistent willingness to ask questions, learn, grow and support the Trix team has evolved into her becoming a part of our working family.
Allison loves being a part of the aerial community as a performer and a supporter. She is our live events promoter, chatting with clients, capturing pictures and videos for Trix and she manages our social media pages and other forms of client communications.
Job Titles:

Amanda Lynch graduated with a First-Class Honours degree in Theatre Studies from the University of Queensland in 2002 and used this degree as a platform from which to start her circus journey. She is a trained academic researcher and proof reader and this gives her an unmatched interest in attention to detail and the successful search for information, both skills that she draws on extensively while administrating for Trix and as a circus coach.
At Trix, Amanda is the one that makes sure things get done. She is a natural leader and has had years of experience creating shows with small and large groups of artists. Her straightforward attitude keeps Trix running smoothly and her empathetic nature keeps clients coming back. Without her un-waivering attention to detail and fine sense of planning, things like this amazing website would not be here today. With the attitude that no job is too hard or too big, she helps us deliver on all projects, no matter what the size or level of intricacy, keeping the same professional attitude throughout.
As well as an administrative genius, Amanda is a motivated and passionate circus coach. In 2020 she completed the ‘Formation de Formateurs' at École Nationale de Cirque (ENC) in aerial verticals (corde lisse, tissu) with Sarah Poole and duo trapeze with Véronique Thibeault. This course at ENC has given Amanda new modalities for apparatus application and exploration which she is excited to share through her work with Trix Circus.
