Throw Catch Collective features Byron Hutton, Joe Fisher and Richard Sullivan. The company tour nationally, in 2019 receiving a Green Room Award nomination for their production Jugg Life. Their latest creation, Escalate, has been supported by Melbourne Fringe & Circus Oz’s Springboard program and Creative Victoria.

Escalate has redefined juggling as an engaging, vital, vibrant art, brimming with creative possibility, in the same way that Tap Dogs did for tap dancing more than 30 years ago.

This has already had an impact on the creative sector, with co-creator Joe Fisher being asked to co-write and choreograph Jay Gilligan’s new work, Another Sunset, and has been approached by Sean Gandini to collaborate since Escalate’s premiere. Similarly, composer and performer Samuel Kreusler has collaborated on projects with contemporary dancer Arabella Frahn-Starkie after she praised the show as ‘world class’ and tap dancer Eden Read as a direct result of seeing the production. In recognition of the importance and legacy of this artistic impact, Byron has been invited to teach at the National Youth Circus, the Flying Fruit Fly Circus specifically to impart his style and technique.
