Our Core Values
- Community: Help foster a society in which artists work together for the collective benefit of themselves and their fellow artists, their audiences, and their wider communities. We believe that the partnerships we form with our communities are reciprocal, and that our ability to thrive depends on each other.
Circus is for everyone and is meant to be shared. - Inclusivity: Welcome and support diverse artists, audiences and community members of all backgrounds. We strive to pursue and support antiracist work in the arts and in our communities. We respect people of every race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, immigration status, gender presentation, sexual orientation, age, ability or disability, socioeconomic class, and veteran status.
Circus is for everyone and is meant to be shared by everyone. - Integrity: Hold ourselves to the highest standard of excellence, both as artists and as human beings. We value honesty and transparency in communication, mindfulness for our artists’ wellbeing, and respect and kindness for all members of our community, both on and off the stage.
Circus is for everyone and is meant to be shared with respect. - Curiosity: Push ourselves as artists and creators to challenge expectations, and to constantly improve our artistic presentations, our business practices and the ways in which we connect with our audiences. We value innovation, creativity, and the belief that inspiration can be found in many different styles, voices and stories.
Circus is for everyone and is meant to be shared and to inspire.
- Safety: Demonstrate, encourage and promote high standards of safety, always. We endeavor not only to follow industry safety standards, but also to prioritize the personal safety of our artists, our clients and our communities, especially those whose identities may put them more at risk.
Circus is for everyone and is meant to be shared safely.
