2019 Summer Showcase

"Circus Addiction"

Directed by Felicity Hesed

Why do we do circus?  What drives us to train bitterly for hours and hours each week?  Why do we endure the scrapes, bruises, and burns and still come back for more?  What sustains us through the tedium of training?  What motivates our circus addiction?

This performance will showcase Circus Center’s highest-level students and instructors while exploring the inner world of the circus performer.  Circus acts will be woven together with recorded memoirs and ensemble pieces exploring this theme.

Any and all acts will be considered for this show.  I would like to include a range of people and acts.  I am looking for people who are interested in participating in any or all of the following ways:

• Solo or small group acts
• Simple ensemble pieces to be created during the rehearsals
• Writing and/or speaking in an honest way about why they do circus.
