Ty Vennewitz

Ty, short for Tyrannosaurus, tall by any other measure, grew up in the Pacific Northwest. As a child he rode anything with wheels and occupied his hands with juggling props. He graduated from Western Washington University with a BA in Dance, performed in the Portland Opera, A-Wol Dance Collective and a dental commercial as a ballet-dancing-molar. Ty’s obsession with circus lured him across the continent to the National Circus School (ENC) in Montreal, where he donned the world’s smallest mask, a red nose, and studied clowning... seriously. He has performed for Cirque du Soleil, Cirque Éloize, Creativiva and numerous others. He is currently a performer with the Acrobatic Conundrum, a co-founder and teacher at Levity Circus Collective, and a newlywed. When he’s not juggling engagements you can find him wheeling in the streets, a boyish grin on his face.
