Jack In a Box: Danny Syme at TEDxChristchurch

Born in Dunedin and raised in Christchurch, Danny Syme's early background is in sports and martial arts. Since graduating from C.P.I.T Circo Arts in 2005, he has worked as a core member of the Loons Circus Theatre Company and Fuse Circus NZ. In 2013, he established Circotica Circus Theatre Productions, with his partner Mim, and the pair not only performs regularly together, but both tutor in the Circus Arts at various community and arts venues throughout New Zealand.

Danny has permission to use the music in this act: La Campanella by Chloe, London Symphony Orchestra & Paul Mann.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
