Get Involved!

Ever wanted to run away and join the circus? Well, here's your chance!

No skills? No worries! There are plenty of ways to get involved with us. Aside from performers, we're always in need of set builders, event organizers, costume designers, teachers, and other day to day behind the scene stuff. If you're interested in doing anything with us, simply get in touch with us!

Just remember, there's a place for everyone in the circus.

We're always looking for performers to be a part of our shows. Amongst us, we have jugglers, unicyclists, fire breathers, poi spinners, contortionists, aerial acrobats, dancers, musicians, clowns, and super enthusiastic people!

If you have an act and want to perform it, simply let us know. We love to collaborate and welcome all sorts of arts. Story telling and entertainment is our priority, and we love new ideas and audience interaction!

Build Days

While it's certainly sweet to put on make up and fancy costumes and wow audiences, most of what goes into the shows get accomplished back stage!

We have regular build days where we get together to sort/make costumes, build stilts, make sets, and spray-paint t-shirts, and basically hang out and have a good time.

These are a great outlet for your creativity and also to meet members of Le Vorris and Vox Circus. To best way to be informed of build days is to sign up for our listhost.

Circus Training

We meet weekly to hone our skills and prepare for our performances. We usually meet at the Henry Crown Field House, although when it's nice out, we like to do it outside on the grass. Again, the best way to find out what we're up to, and when circus practices are from time to time, is to get on our listhost.

Occasionally, we hold circus workshops both on the University of Chicago campus and elsewhere in the neighborhood of Hyde Park to teach various circus skills. These events are always open to the public, and always a lot of fun!

But more specifically, if you want to learn to juggle, you can do so through the Univeristy of Chicago's very own juggling club JELLY (Jugglers Enriching Lives Like Yours). They are a wonderful group of people with a great sense of humor.

If you're interested in more gymnastics type stuff, you can check out the University of Chicago's Gymnastics Club.

In addition, there are many places in Chicago that offer training, and you can find them in our links section.

Sponsorship

There are plenty of ways you can benefit from sponsoring our group.

First of all, you will be supporting a non for profit organization whose primary goal is pure entertainment. However we do not only strive to impress, dazzle and beffumble. We acknowledge the setting and the neighborhood in which we perform. Our shows aim at improving relations between neighborhoods that surround the Midway, whose multicultured public will eventually make their way to our shows.

Second of all, you can reach out to a lot of people through our shows. At our performances, you can set up a booth to advertise and offer some services/products to the public as well as get your name on the many fliers that will advertize our Circus.

So what are you waiting for? There are many ways to support the circus, find out how you can today!
