EARLY MORNING CIRCUS CREW! Fraser, Kay, Devon and Elliot help celebrate Purim at Talmud Torah School in Vancouver with two early morning shows. Purim, which literally means “lots” and is sometimes known as the Feast of Lots, is the Jewish holiday in which Jews commemorate being saved from persecution in the ancient Persian Empire. This is the sixth time we have performed at Talmud Torah as part of their Purim celebrations. Last time, we performed on their rooftop field with a mix of ground and aerial acts.
Happy Purim to all who celebrate! #circuswest #talmudtorahschool #purimvancouver #sheerverve #happypurim #springisnear #dreambig ... See MoreSee Less

MIDTERMS ARE OVER! Our Provincial Performance Prepatory Program (4P) had their midterm performances today. Our panel of judges witnessed amazing circus artistry on aerial rope, aerial pole, roue cyr and aerial hoop. 4P trains 16 hours a week at CircusWest focussing on circus fundamentals, strength, conditioning, dance, handstands, acrobatics, and act development. Now, the group has two weeks off before we regroup for a rigorous term 2. We are so proud of their accomplishments today and look forward toward their continued circus and artistic development in the months ahead. If you are interested in more information about 4P and professional development, reach out to Artistic Director Jay Nunns at jnunns@circuswest.com. Level UP with 4P and CircusWest!

MORNING LIGHT! Devan lights up Talmud Torah school this morning as part of their Purim celebrations. CircusWest was on hand with Fraser, Elliot, Kay and Devan with two 30 minute early morning shows for their elementary students complete. Our show was a mix of poi, juggling, object manipulation, acro, and roue cyr. We look forward to coming back next year — as this was the sixth time we have performed or did workshops with Talmud Torah School — and we thank them for having us back once again! Happy Purim to those that celebrate! #circuswest #talmudtorahschool #purim #sheerverve #ledpoi #dreambig ...

ALL STAR UNICYCLIST!
6 year old Lexa rides her unicycle with ease. She trains one day a week in our Tigers program and loves flying around the gym, and her house (according to her parents) on one wheel.
CircusWest works with so many talented kids and adults who Dream Big, Push Limits , and Defy Gravity on a daily basis.
Great work Lexa!
