WHAT WE DO
Encouraging artistic expression, community and the pursuit of industries related to circus art performance and production in Bermuda.
​
ABOUT US
We are building the next generation of Bermudian entertainment while fostering our community, network and talent.
We know it's imperative that we build a viable entertainment model that could financially support the community's development and artistry. Every show we do pays directly to a grand vision of circus artistry on island, making it possible for us to help Bermudians pursue creative performance related careers.
Our team consists of dancers, actors, costume and stage designers, marketers, lighting experts, event managers and more. We are a community, always seeking to learn, grow and affect positive change with art and movement.
ORIGINS
Cirqle Circus Arts Collective was created as a means to pull together the fractured performing arts community in a transparent and fair way that valued performer rights to the highest degree.
In addition to standing as a unified voice for performers, bringing together groups that typically weren't crossing paths or hadn't taken their art into the realm of entertainment has been a key element in fostering our budding community.
Tara Sapien, a lead performer for the collective, created Cirqle and still oversees all aspects as it continues to develop and partner with key entertainers, community members and companies.
