Humboldt Circus
|
| Press Release: | With a "hands-on" approach, we explore all styles and aspects of the expansive circus arts: Big Top, Burlesque, Vaudeville, Street Performing, Festivals, Pageants and more. Our members have a wide variety of skills that we teach and share: juggling, contact juggling, poi spinning, acrobatics, clowning, trapeze, tumbling, balancing, unstable platforms, slack rope-walking, stilt-walking, hula-hooping, staff twirling, lasso roping, yo-yoing, walking on walking globes, stage combat, tricks with fire, mastering ceremonies, illusions, dancing, stripping, twizzling, sideshow tricks of all kinds and so much more! Every aspect of production is fair game for learning if that is your bag, baby: lighting, sound, musical composition and performance, costume design and construction, make-up artistry, prop design and construction, set design and construction, publicity (stunts and the more conventional variety), leading, following the leader, playing tag (and spin-the-bottle), navel-lint picking, saving the world and whatever you think might be fun and interesting! Learn as much or as little as you desire!
| | Mission: | We want humans to assist at all levels from performance to costumes to set design to music! We encourage not only students, but community members to join us.
Completely student created and run, the Humboldt Circus was organized to spread the gospel of circus to the masses.
Ultimately, we develop everything as an ensemble. We hope that you have ideas and/or skills that you want to share that we can incorporate.
We are both an open admission circus skills class and a professional level performing troupe, commited to the idea that the world of circus leads to increased coordination, higher self-esteem, longer life, open chakras and clearer skin.
