Project Description:
The Project we propose is a nighttime circus show combined with a circus arts school in the day. The
entire show is based around a 22 foot trapeze pyramid that serves as a stage as well as aerial rigging.
It will be utilized in classes during the daytime. Our troupe is composed of 8-12 people. Each of the
people in the troupe are skilled in circus arts that range from aerial works, contact juggling, dancing,
staff spinning, Poi, tumbling, singing and more. All of whom are willing to teach and perform for the
enjoyment of the community. The entire setting and cast will be creating an air of circus setting via
decor, creating our own music and costumed living. The shows will include fire.
Proposed Budget:
This is our ideal budget to fund the complete construction of devices, supplies, costumes, sound and
lights. We are committed to bringing this circus to life – as such any and all help from the community is
greatly welcomed.
