In collaboration with Selah Dance Collective
A story told through Aerial, Circus, and Dance

How do art & movement help us to grow?
Like wildflowers blooming through the ashes of a forest fire, we have the power to rise again 🌸

Incredible Acts Featuring
7 Aerial Points • Modern Dance • Silks • Lyra • Chains • Straps • Rope • Heart • Hammock • Duets • Group Acts • Contortion • Hula Hoop • and so much more!

Join Elemental Arts, Selah Dance Collective, & Paper Doll Militia as over 40 artists come together to tell a story through aerial, circus, & dance in this one night only Circus Theater Production!

In the summertime, we roam through lush fields. But in the dry fall heat, a wildfire sweeps the landscape. In the harsh of winter we sift through the withering flowers. As we feel the fragments of petals, we navigate our bodies’ natural survival responses; fight, flight, freeze and fawn.
But why do these emotions seem so negative? Even in shared experience, we process differently. We move in unique ways, but like wildflowers blooming through the ashes of a forest fire, we have the power to rise again.
Over 40 artists from Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Vegas, & abroad come together to create a two hour theater show like no other.

*Special Guest Announcement!*
Prequel by Circus with Purpose and renown aerial theater pioneers, Paper Doll Militia. The debut of their new work "Homeostasis"
An aerial sculpture & performance piece fusing the visual design of Shibari with contemporary aerial arts. The apparatus is a large-scale visual interpretation of the human nervous system, constructed entirely with rope. This tree-like apparatus becomes an elaborate structure for aerial performers exploring dysregulation and resilience on personal and societal levels.

Paper Doll Malitia:
Sine 2006, Paper Doll Militia’s innovative approach to choreography and poignant use of theatricality have gained the company the reputation of being pioneers in original aerial theatre. Their pieces seamlessly weave dynamic physicality, aerial arts, and visual theatre. They emphasize the mixture of modern and vintage mediums as well as invented aerial apparatus to create their signature aesthetic; dreamy, whimsical, and dark. Paper Doll Militia are also known for their Aerial Instruction courses, specifically Teacher Training courses, Vertical Theatre Method Method Master Classes and Aerial Retreats.

Circus with Purpose:
Where circus art meets the heart and movement intertwines with mindfulness. A collective force of artists, healers, and movement enthusiasts on a mission. Our purpose is simple yet profound: to cultivate sanctuaries of creativity that help us remember our inextricable human connection. Dedicated to supporting the Nicaraguan Social Circus Schools. Through play and creativity, we forge cross cultural connections that transcend borders, uniting international artists and teachers with the remarkable Social Circus Teachers of Nicaragua. Each January, we host a month-long circus retreat of discovery, playfulness, and collaborative expression.
