Welcome to our eighteenth annual cavalcade of collaborative circus creation! This year’s title was inspired by the fact that we have
accumulated an over-abundance of circus stuff over the decades; an attic overflowing with sparkles and spandex; odd and oversized props from past shows and more juggling balls, theatrical masks and pairs of stilts
than you’ve ever seen in one place before.
The theme of “Enough is Enough” spoke to our cast and creative team on many levels: political, personal, environmental, and global. Often, what they chose to focus on in developing their acts was their connections toeach other and to their communities. For our part, Jacob and I are endlessly grateful for this generous, caring and talented circus community, and for the love (and glitter) it has enriched us with since 2002.
“Enumerating the gifts you’ve received creates a sense of abundance, the knowing that you already have what you need. Recognizing “enoughness” is a radical act in an economy that is always urging us to consume more…Imagine the outcome if we each took only enough rather than far more than our share. The wealth and security we seem to crave could be met by sharing what we have…The relationships nurtured by gift thinking diminish our sense of scarcity and want. In that climate of sufficiency, our hunger for more abates-” from The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer.
