Kinetic Arts Center’s Circus Spire Youth Performance Troupe (8 – 18 years) is a pre-professional, multi-disciplinary circus youth troupe committed to excellence in circus arts training and performance. Circus Spire provides as many formal and informal performance opportunities in as many circus arts skills available to us. These opportunities include (but not limited to): multi-week, full-length productions, individual act development, local off-site festivals and events, on-site special events (i.e., birthday parties), showcases/cabarets.
Although Kinetic Arts Center knows not everyone participating in the Circus Spire program dreams of running away to the circus as a life-choice, we provide training and focus as if they do. This way everyone can have a choice AND all participants are trained at the highest level of expertise. We know that by providing this training opportunity to each Circus Spire member in a safe and enriching environment, each child will be a better and more empowered individual than they were before. Although many of our students go on to enroll in professional circus training programs in other places as well as tour with other circuses around the country, most important is that every child in Circus Spire will know throughout their lives they can reach personal goals because they have already done so in circus.
