Raymond Philip-Michael Diamond

Originally from Louisiana and based in Maine, the circus has flipped and turned Raymond Diamond's life upside down, literally and figuratively. In a time where life and the world feels out of control and unmanageable, Raymond's circus practices remind him that his body and what he creates are a handful of the few things that he is in total control of.

Before physical theater and upside-down antics, nothing had supplied such a source of consistent excitement during his time on the planet. Raymond is infatuated with the idea of making art through the medium of his body and through the venue of circus.

Raymond is a handbalancer, a hand-to-hand flier, a partner acrobat, and a bounce juggler, and aspires to work as a member of acrobatic ensemble companies.
