@dvlxnj
Dylan Jackson is a UK-based performer with a deep love for all kinds of sticks, strings and spinning props.
His flow journey began around five years ago with leviwand, which quickly opened the door to contact staff, double staff, contact sword and dragon staff. Since then, Dylan has travelled with his craft, most recently performing and teaching at Paradise Circus in Thailand and joining Nepal Flowfest as a dragon staff instructor.
Dylan brings a playful, technical and exploratory approach to teaching, helping people build confidence with their props while finding new ways to move, transition and flow.
