CASTING FOR SUMMER 2024! 

Seeking artists for our 2024 “Circus in the Parks” season of shows throughout the Bay Area and Beyond 

Circus Bella’s mission is to produce and present high-quality Circus Arts entertainment, accessible to all audiences. We are excited to return this fall with our “Circus in the Parks” series of FREE community performances in Parks and open spaces. The show, entitled WOW!, features our live Circus Bella All-Star Band and the Circus Bella ensemble company, performing in an outdoor ring. 

SEEKING:

  • Dynamic act(s): appropriate for all ages and cultural sensibilities.

  • Specifically looking for high energy, acrobatic acts, i.e.: Risley, chair stacking, 2-person teeterboard, Russian bar, etc.  

  • At many locations we are not able to stake into the ground. All acts must have their own free-standing rigging.
    We are not casting Aerial Acts, Clowns, Contortionists or Hula Hoopers.

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • A willingness to lift, carry, haul, set-up, tear-down (i.e. participate in the grunt of the show beyond just performing their act)

  • The ability to perform outdoors with and within the natural elements

  • The ability and experience of working and creating alongside others

  • The ability to perform and collaborate with a live band

  • Although not essential, club juggling and passing skills are an asset

COMMITMENT:

Performances run on weekends, June through the end of July. Most shows are in the Bay Area with additional dates in Southern California and Reno, NV. Must be available weekends and some Fridays. Outside the Circus in the Parks season, there are opportunities for additional performances as well as teaching engagements during the week.

COMPENSATION: 

Company members receive a competitive hourly wage dependent on rehearsal participation, performances, and experience. Compensation for housing and travel is also available. At this time, performers must have a United States citizenship or already be legally authorized to work in the US.

If interested, please email a video/link of your full act as well as a resume and any related promotional materials to info@circusbella.org.
