About Us
Our Story
I feel like, at one point all artists want to make something that is their own. We often will make a single act, but often the act is not performed exactly as it was meant to be performed. Even the most renowned circus companies make artistic changes to accommodate storylines for various productions; taking away from the original creativity of the act itself.
​
Shape of circus started as a rebellion to those artistic changes. We want to showcase our art, our way, as it is intended to be viewed. We want to tell our own stories and foster an emotional relationship with our audiences. Our acts, our show, our future work has no expectations, We are not bound by the stipulation of making a million dollars, our shows are simply artistic decisions we wish to showcase. It is our selves in these moments that we are sharing. It is how we connect with an audience, how we share our emotions, our time and yours,
​
Together with time.
Our process
Before jumping into how we do, there are a few hard rules we follow.
1. Applause is earned, not asked for.
2. We are telling a story.
3. We are pushing our limits to better ourselves.
​
It starts with a pen and a pad, a spark of an idea, or a laptop if we're feeling modern. The story we write is usually only a few sentences long, but it is the platform for everything; we derive the theme, the feel we want for the show, and as we move forward this is what we fall back onto make sure we're staying true to the narrative.
