ADULT PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES
Let your act out of the box! Bring your new act or a work in progress to our stage for an informal evening of fun -- Schrödinger’s Circus will give you a chance to turn performance potential into actuality as you tumble, fly, or dance in front of an audience who can give you supportive feedback on your performance.
All movement arts are welcome. Bring yourself and your props, invite some friends, and experience a night of art and community! Audience members are encouraged to participate in the artistic process by filling out feedback sheets. The act of observing may change the results!
