“Supporting arts in regional areas—it seems so obvious, but it’s important because there’s a lot of voices to be heard, and there’s a lot of stories to be shared.”

Georgia Deguara is Director of West Australian all-female performance company, YUCK Circus. YUCK is a multi-award winning, internationally-touring production company keen on championing the female voice across live performance.

Georgia grew up in the isolated coastal town of Broome, beginning her training at Theatre Kimberley’s Sandfly Circus at the age of 11. When not touring with YUCK, Georgia works with Theatre Kimberley in producing, performing, and mentoring roles. Specialising in Outreach programs, she tours to isolated Indigenous communities providing circus as a tool of creative expression.

Whether in front of an audience of 3000+ in Edinburgh Playhouse, or to a town of a total 30 people, community is at the forefront of Georgia’s work. Currently with 4 touring works, and as an independent producer for other organisations and performers, Georgia strives to create exciting work in the industry, and to use her knowledge to inspire the next generation of artists.

Georgia’s position in the Regional Producer Platform is supported by Circuit West and Regional Arts Australia’s Quick Response Grant.
