What People Say

Circus Up is like an instruction to a new direction. It is a better way to express myself, face my fears, and tell my story. The circus training is like something that takes me towards the same destination, but with a different direction.

What's new at Circus Up?

Our community troupe, Kirkos, has been practicing and rehearsing for over a year now. They are so excited to be performing in many in-person shows during the summer of 2022. 

​

You can check them out in: 

  • the Wake Up the Earth Festival in JP!

  • the Roslindale Farmer's Market Opening Day!

  • the student showcase at the Commonwealth Circus Center! 

  • the Fenway Porchfest!

  • and two special performances free and open to the public on Nahant Beach in Nahant and Malibu Beach in Dorchester!

 

Kirkos is amazingly talented. Email us at info@circusup.com to book Kirkos to perform at your community event!

 

Circus Up is also starting a new partnership with Our Sisters' School, running a week long circus camp. And we are sending our Kirkos members to summer camp at C3 for the ENTIRE summer. If you are able to donate to help send our kids to camp, click here!
