Emergent Performer Program
The Emergent Performers Program is committed to empowering youth, ages 8-17 to pursue circus as a passion and a viable career path, The program provides increasable opportunities to train consistently and perform often, learn from different circus professionals, and be a part of a circus family with shared dreams.
The Emergent Performers program was created to grow young circus stars into professional performers from our own community. Salida Circus has always been great at creating that ” circus spark” in young hearts. This program aims to fuel that spark through adolescence, and provide engaging, well rounded curriculum and growth opportunities. This program is separated into two age groups, the Junior Performers ages 8-12, and the Senior Performers ages 13-17. The juniors focus on safety, circus basics, learning new skills and building routines. The seniors focus on all the same things as the juniors plus learning anatomy, skills for becoming independent contractors, and help applying for professional circus programs as a pathway after high school. They all receive private lessons, guest instructors, opportunities to build inspiration and memories though outings to professional circus shows, circus camps, workshops, festivals, and US and international connections.
Your support will will make a significant difference in the growth, success, and prosperity of the youth in our community. Thank you for your contribution! And may all your days be Salida Circus Days!
