What is Circo ABQ?
Circo ABQ is an intensive circus arts learning opportunity for young people between the ages of 7 - 13. Each summer, students train with national and international circus professionals from basic to advanced circus arts in a bilingual, physically intensive and artistically rigorous curriculum.
Curriculum includes juggling, stilt-walking, unicycling, clowning, aerials, acro-balance, and art/costume making, in addition to the exploration of compassion, collaboration, tenacity, inclusion, leadership/mentorship, environmental stewardship and more! The program culminates in two final performances that are open to the public.
​ While providing circus arts programs to students is our main goal, we also provide leadership/mentorship based roles in our program to build skills and community outside of the circus.
Our Mission Statement
We are a circus community of artists of all ages who value passion and creative expression. We are curious, courageous, self-disciplined, determined, collaborative, and compassionate. We are committed to love, humor, and fun. Our goal is to build community with respect to safely develop and deepen our skills, explore culture, create performance, and inspire a sense of wonder and magic.
Our 8 Mantras
Our primary goal at Circo ABQ is to provide a safe, creative, fun, learning, and performing experience for everyone involved by utilizing our 7 mantras (plus one bonus mantra).
