CIRQUE OFF Festival of Circus Arts
Presented by Triskelion Arts and Cirque This
Cirque This and Triskelion Arts are looking for circus acts of any nature for our 3rd Annual CIRQUE OFF festival to be performed September 4th, 5th, and 6th 2009. Cirque Off offers the opportunity for seasoned and emerging circus performers to show their acts in a supportive, fun and polished environment. Cirque This will provide lighting, promotion, and live music, while the Cirque This cast lends their signature style segues to keep the action moving and help get your act set up. To submit an act, or for more info, please download and complete the submission form below before August 1, 2009.
Because space is extremely limited, Cirque This and Triskelion Arts will not be able to present all acts submitted, and will be selecting acts based on demonstrated quality, appropriateness for event and venue. Cirque This expects to complete the selection process and notify artists no later than the week of August 10th.
For any questions regarding this event, please contact Andy Dickerson at andy@cirquethis.com
