Anyone out there interested in teaching flying trapeze?

Hello fellow circus enthusiasts,

 

They American Youth Circus Organization (AYCO) Festival is fast approaching, and we are still on the search for coaches to offer Flying Trapeze

workshops. The Festival location (Island Lake Camp) has two beautiful flying rigs, one indoors and one outdoors.

 

Please help us add this incredible circus tradition to our already awesome lineup of workshops. If you or someone you know may be able to help us, please contact Jesse at busker06@msn.com.

 

For more information about the festival, visit www.americanyouthcircus.org

 

Thank you so much,

Jesse AlFord

Works in Progress Revealed!

Are you working on an act that won't be ready in time to showcase at the festival? We encourage you to give your act a whirl at our special "Works in Progress Revealed" (WIPR) workshops. Receive helpful feedback, suggestions, and encouragement from circus performers, educators, and enthusiasts in a safe, non competitive environment- ALL levels are welcome.  There will be two WIPR workshops- one for aerial acts and one for ground acts.  Please contact Jesse at busker06@msn.com with any questions about equipment (we will have most everything on site already but want to make sure we can be prepared with what you need!) We can't wait to see and support what you've been creating.
