Weekly Workshops, Discussions, & Performances

The idea behind the Circustentialist files - and in turn, the School of Circustentialism - is the elevation of Circus from a bag of tricks and actobatics to the truly powerful realm of performance art. Drawing on training and inspiration from Fine Art, Theater, Dance, and Yoga, as well as Circus, Circustentialism is both unapologetically aesthetic and utterly experiential.

In our weekly classes, we draw on exercises from the many worlds of Post-modern Circus arts, using belly dance to teach transitions and fluidity, acting games to inform choreography, and yoga and meditation to

bring our focus to the present.

Above all, Circustentialism is intended to be a source of pleasure, both for the audience and the aerialist. Because it`s fun to fly! It is a return to play, to that genius of learning that allows us to stretch, to move, and to grow in a way that expands our minds as well as our bodies.

Circustentialism allows us to transcend the paradigms of traditional circus, traditional art, traditional dance, traditional performance. It defies all expectations of what is normal, what is possible, even what is real. it is an experience, an idea, an inspiration.

It`s time to fly.
