SUMMARY:The Circus of Second Chances
DESCRIPTION:Acrobatic Conundrum presents “The Circus of Second Chances” featuring rope acrobatics\, Cyr wheel\, handbalancing\, live baking\, and clown.\nOn a relentless quest for wonder\, three veteran acrobats let their imaginations run wild to fulfill secret longings.

Leveraging their long running friendships with each other\, Emma Curtiss\, Melissa Knowles\, and Terry Crane put all their talents and quirky craftiness into this dada circus romp. They climb\, cavort\, invert\, revert\, and subvert in this capricious acrobatic piece as they ask\, “What does your heart wish for?”\nAppropriate for all ages. 85 minutes.\nPerformers: Emma Curtiss\, Melissa Knowles\, and Terry Crane. Music written and performed by Kamila Nasr
