360 ALLSTARS

 
Johanna Makelainen Review by Johanna Makelainen 4 Published: 6 Aug 2025 Assembly Hall Show Dates: 31 Jul 2025-25 Aug 2025

360 ALLSTARS offers an energetic celebration of rotation in all its forms, blending American street culture with circus artistry. The show brings together BMX, basketball freestyle, breakdance and Cyr wheel in a line-up that showcases skill without losing its sense of fun.

Celebration of rotation in all its forms

This is an energetic, family-friendly production with audience participation woven in at just the right moments to keep everyone engaged. For older viewers, the visual language and music tap into a familiar cultural memory of 90s hip-hop, while younger audiences respond to the energy, tricks and fast delivery.

Director, producer, percussionist and MC Gene Peterson anchors the performance, his live drumming and rap lyrics keeping the show on track. Sharing hosting duties, MC Mirrah loops vocals with a soulful edge to her singing, adding a positive message of connection, self-expression and inclusion. Her presence builds a bridge between the high-octane acts and the audience.

The acts are as varied as they are skilled, all paying homage to American street culture. Hungarian two-time BMX world champion Peter Söre balances and spins his bike with astonishing control, blending technical mastery with understated showmanship. Guinness world record holder Bavo Freestyles juggles four basketballs at once, his ease with the audience making the act as much about personality as precision.

Josh Curtis, with a background in urban dance and circus training, offers a smooth, fluid performance in the Cyr wheel, bringing grace to the show’s more kinetic moments. B-boys Chriss Arias and Links bring bursts of raw energy to the floor, their breakdance battles echoing the street culture roots that inform the whole production. In the grand finale, all acts combine their skills in a whirlwind of talent and pure joy of performing.

The compact stage works to the show’s advantage. Its size keeps the tricks close to the audience, amplifying the sense of precision and risk. While the variety of acts means the performance sometimes feels like a sequence of highlights rather than a single narrative, the energy never drops, and the shared enthusiasm of the cast keeps the audience engaged throughout.

Part circus, part street jam, 360 ALLSTARS is a show where nostalgia meets momentum and everybody gets swept along for the ride.
