A NIGHT OF QUEER CIRCUS

Step into the ring with us as we lift up queer voices in circus! Experience bold, breathtaking new works and works-in-progress from LGBTQIA+ artists who are redefining what circus can be.

In a time when our community continues to face attacks, we gather the way San Francisco always has—through creativity, resilience, and joy. Together, we celebrate visibility, artistry, and the power of refusing to be erased.

Casting Call

• Masc-presenting acrobat to fill in for my act in GAY! Skills in tumbling, partner acrobatics, some static/dance Trapeze, and physical acting. Would be great if you are queer, as the act is about queer identity and gender dysmorphia. If you are interested in these themes, I would love to talk. Performers will be paid a stipend based on ticket sales.
• Casting queer/LGBTQIA+ circus artists for a cabaret-style night of queer circus at Circus Center San Francisco. Are you making circus about being gay? Are you gay and making circus? We want to see it! The event will feature queer circus artists who are dedicated to creating new work, whatever that may be. Acts can be anything, and may range 5-20minutes in length. Performers will be paid a stipend based on ticket sales.

SHOWS: Fri. October 24, Sun. October 26th.

TECH: Sun. October 19
