About this organization
Mission
To use circus arts as a catalyst for individual and collective transformation.
About
Circus education. Our education programs support circus artists from many walks of life. We provide a space and curriculum where every student can show up as their authentic self and learn how to train with the discipline, safety, and creative presence of a professional circus artist. We do this through tuition-based classes and intensive training programs open to youth and adults from the general public, and through our pathways program, which increases access to the arts for students who wouldn't otherwise have these learning opportunities. Our programs are made accessible with a robust scholarship fund and an on-staff social worker to work with students and families to remove financial, logistical, and cultural barriers to participation. Total enrollment in our studio classes, training programs, and workshops grew from 2,309 in 2016 to 5,670 in 2018.
