Exploring the Future of Circus at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival
I recently had the pleasure of attending the Edinburgh Fringe Festival: my first time at the world's largest arts festival.
Magic in the Making: The Circus Flora Process
Each year, our show spends one month under the Big Top – but it takes more than a year to prepare. Every season brings new opportunities, new challenges, and new memories. The Case of the Missing Bellhop sprang to life during a time of great change for Circus Flora, with our new permanent home and our earlier season. It’s my pleasure to share with our friends and fans this behind-the-scenes glimpse into our process.
Run Off & Join the Circus (As a Volunteer!)
I didn’t expect was the sheer joy I would have volunteering – and the start of a tradition that continues to this day. We all look forward to seeing our “Circus Friends” every year. The yearly Volunteer Dinner feels like a family reunion. I have made many wonderful friends among the other volunteers who are now a part of my everyday life.
Coming Soon: Trained Pigs, Death-Defying Stunts, and a Mystery of International Proportions
We’ve got some incredible circus acts lined up: Roxane Gilliand on the Swinging Trapeze (without a net!), Yoyo the clown, The Flying Wallendas on the high-wire, The Alanian Riders who will perform acrobatics on, off, and under galloping horses, trained pigs, The St. Louis Arches, and trampoline acrobatics.
Share the Magic. Share the Joy. Share the Circus.
The magic of circus should be accessible to ALL! In that spirit of inclusiveness, we created the “Share the Circus” ticket donation program.
