Since its founding in 2016, Cirque Us has rapidly grown into one of the most notable contemporary circus companies in the country. Our mission is to spread circus magic and build confident communities by pairing high-quality, theatrical circus shows alongside unique, educational workshop opportunities.

Shows produced by Cirque Us feature high-level acrobatics blended with captivating story and character. Made up of small casts between six and ten troupe members, Cirque Us narratives revolve around the exploration of interpersonal relationships, personal development, and social-emotional learning, all largely portrayed through physical theatre and circus acts. The circus acts, themselves, are highly technical and tightly choreographed, including aerials, tumbling, contortion, tight wire, hand balance, acrobatics, juggling, jump rope, clown, and dance.

Educational opportunities hosted by Cirque Us range from single-day events to multi-week camps, and may or may not be accompanied by a performance. We invite community members to learn various circus disciplines from our team of highly experienced coaches and performers. The experience of learning new and difficult circus skills, especially ones that participants have seen in-action during our shows, is the base from which we promote high self-worth and an everything-is-possible attitude. The experience of working with community members on team skills like pyramids or partner acrobatics faces participants with the value of a team and a community, that we achieve much more when we trust and work together.

Cirque Us is proud to build strong communities by revisiting the same locations each season, welcoming past audiences and workshop participants to return and re-ignite all they accomplished last time. In our current staple cities, Cirque Us is proud to see the same youth and families year after year, improving not just their circus skills but also their confidence, and their commitment to their community
