Who is Kryptø’s?

Hello, my name is Dustin, professionally known as Kryptøs. I found my passion in the fire arts in March of 2017. Watching fire artists dance with flames at a music festival formally known as Summerset music festival. Not knowing anything about this art form. I timidly walked up to one of the artists and shared my interest in their craft. I went home with a new passion. I found a few people around my area who were also into flow arts. Poi quickly became an obsession. Wanting to Learn more about this unique language spoken through movement. Picking up my Poi every day for the first 4 years changed the trajectory of my life. I then started experimenting with other props such as double staves and contact staff which led to more and more exploration and wanting to try any prop I could get my hands on. From juggling clubs to buugeng, fire daggers, dragon staff and even an electric unicycle in which I now can perform on. My passion lies in sharing my art with others and inspiring anyone who watches in awe, to go out and do something amazing. We are all deserving of finding our craft and sharing who we are. This is me. I am Kryptøs
