Brave Space

Brave Space is the building of a blanket fort, sneaking under a hoopskirt, an impulsive congregation in the tiniest of tents. Inspired by the idea of creating community in trying times, it starts as a puddle of fabric on the floor, and grows to encompass a world of wondrous circus that includes juggling, cyr wheel, duo trapeze, a rope act like no other, and awe-inspiring feats of balance and strength. Intimate and low tech, we invite the audience to sit nose-to-nose with an all-female cast of bold acrobats to build the world we want to live in, even for only a few shared moments.. Brave Space requires 100% trust between the performers and the audience as together we physically construct the show and keep the artists aloft. Limited to 100 people, participants must sit on the floor, stand up, and walk around for the duration.

"As remarkable as the circus artistry here is - and it is skillful, daring, agile, innovative, and breathtakingly beautiful to boot - what sets Brave Space apart, and makes it magical, is the care the performers take of each other and of their audience," writes reviewer Wendy Arons in the Pittsburgh Tattler. "I left with the impression that these artists wished nothing more than to share the secret to forging a space of care and connection with all those of us who had come together to build that little magic tent with them."
