Summer of Circus!

Hey Everybody! 

Are you enjoying this glorious summer of circus? This summer, the Circus Up team is focusing on fostering new connections, strengthening existing ones, celebrating our wins, planning for the future, and having fun! And we'd like YOU to join us in all of it. 

Despite the challenges being faced by our communities near and far, we find comfort, strength, and encouragement in our proven ability to come together and make positive change. We are grateful that so many of you consider Circus Up a part of your community and that we can count on each other to cultivate more joy and resilience in our city and beyond. 

Keep reading to see what we've been up to and what we have in store! 

Happy "circusing"!

Welcome to our new partner, JOYweavers!

🌟 We're joining with the good folks over at JOYweavers! Why? Our missions are aligned: offering accessible programming for children, teens, and adults for ALL to feel "welcomed, known, and valued." We look forward to bringing the circus to JOYweavers and can't wait to see what we learn! 

We would not be able to expand our network and reach more students without your help! If you value equity and inclusivity in the arts, please donate to Circus Up today!

 

Circus in the Sand!

Thanks to Save the Harbor, Save the Bay, Circus Up family spent a community wellness day at Malibu Beach this past weekend! The day started with yoga led by board member Ayla Gavins and then facilitator Lex Schroeder led the group in a participatory leadership exercise and dialogue about the future of Circus Up.
Here are some learnings:

🧡 Part of what makes a strong team is getting to know who you work with—staff, students, families, partners—OUTSIDE of the usual work settings. Who are our community members outside of any specific community space?
 

☀️ The more we widen our circle, the more fun we can have! Everyone we meet offers something new and a different perspective that helps us grow as individuals and as a community.

🎪 We have a lot of work to do! and we cannot do it alone! 

Thank you to everyone who took part and to YOU for supporting Circus Up!
