Community Involvement
Because it takes a village to raise a Big Top, CircusWest is incredibly proud to be a part of our communities. We take the opportunity to give back to those communities whenever we can.
Our circus community
National Circus School Auditions – Since 2004, CircusWest has hosted the western leg of auditions for the prestigious Montreal Circus School (where many CircusWest alumni have attended).
CircusWest also creates specialty workshops on a regular basis when circus performers and circus troupes come to town. Keep posted on our website and social media for advanced training opportunities.
Our neighbourhood
CircusWest offers ‘Discover Circus’ workshops teaching fundamentals to schools, neighbourhood houses, and youth at risk throughout the Lower Mainland and BC. CircusWest also offers scholarships with out Renee Withers Scholarship Fund to provide circus programming opportunities for youth who may otherwise not have the opportunity to be involved in.
