Circus Now Information

Circus Now helps circus thrive. We are a volunteer-powered, non-profit organization that encourages and promotes circus as an art and a practice in North America. We support adult circus artists, enthusiasts, and thinkers in their efforts to create, practice, and evolve circus. We host events for people to meet, see work, and make circus together. We help circus companies survive and thrive, and connect with theaters and presenters from around the world. We coordinate advocacy campaigns so that people know that the circus is a diverse, dynamic form of performance and practice, and that if they haven't experienced it already, they're missing out. Circus Now works to bring these different circus communities together: artists, professionals, fans, academics -- anybody who does or loves circus. Specifically, we aim to support the evolution of the circus arts in the United States by: - Educating the public, media outlets, and arts venues on the diversity, sophistication, and potential of the circus arts today. - Producing events and leveraging social media to connect and inspire US circus artists and practitioners. - Nurturing the creation, production, and distribution of emerging quality circus
