Living Room Circus is back, and now online!

Join us for an evening of experimentation and risk. Living Room Circus is our almost-quarterly showcase of innovative pieces and works-in-progress from performing artists all around Portland and beyond. Celebrate the twists and turns in the process of making a performance. Get a glimpse behind-the-scenes, and share in the artists exploration.

For this virtual edition, all performances have been made specifically for the medium of video. You will enjoy five original pieces that meld videography with dance, circus, and storytelling. And that’s not all - our MC, Jack Stocklynn, will host an artist talk-back after each video to get a glimpse of the creator’s process and inspiration. We would love your involvement as well audience members will be invited to email in questions for the artists, live!

So grab your favorite seat, sweater, beverage or whatever makes you feel cozy and pull up to your screen. We’re excited to bring Living Room Circus directly to your own personal living room.

Join us for an exploration into the lives and artistic expressions of Voice Project members during shelter in place, civil uprisings, and an uncertain political climate. This hour long video will include circus in a variety of spaces and members’ original writing, spoken word, videography, and movement choreography. What is life like during the pandemic? Reflective, anxious, sadness, joy, stillness, and humor and every other articulation of the human nervous system.

Due to the current public health crisis of COVID-19 we’ve decided to postpone Living Room Circus. The time is now to take preventative measures, and we want to be responsible to our performers, our volunteers, audience members and students, and to the broader community at large, and do what we can to prevent further spreading of the virus. We love the energy and community that Living Room Circus creates, and we’re bummed that we have to cancel. Thank you for your support and your understanding!
