1st Annual Celebration of American Circus
ONLINE SALES ARE NOW CLOSED. But there are plenty of seats and tickets will be available at the door, so come on by!
Circus Now is proud to honor Big Apple Circus, 7 doigts de la main, and Philippe Petit, in our first annual Celebration of American Circus, featuring the inaugural American circus awards, to be held Sunday, January 4th at 8 p.m. in the Big Apple Circus Big Top at prestigious Lincoln Center.
Part ceremony, part performance, the Celebration of American Circus will recognize the achievements of several artists and organizations that have made a lasting impression on the circus arts landscape in America, while spotlighting the thriving state of the circus arts in America and in New York City.
In conjunction with the celebration, Circus Now is proud to announce the creation of three new national circus awards to be presented on the occasion to their inaugural recipients:
- the Community Impact Award to Big Apple Circus
- the Evolving Circus Award to Gypsy Snider (7 doigts de la main, Pippin)
- the Elevating Circus Award to Philipe Petit (Man on Wire)
The evening will also feature circus performances by several of North America's most esteemed performers including:
- Nico & Charlotte (7 doigts de la main, Pippin) in hand-to-hand
- the Ricochet Project (Cohdi Harrel and Laura Stokes) on duo rope
- a selection from Big Apple Circus's Metamorphosis
The celebration will be directed by West Hyler (Big Apple Circus, Jersey Boys), and will be followed by a reception in the Big Apple Circus Big Top on rotunda on Lincoln Center, including the honorees and members of the cast of Pippin.
It's a watershed moment in American circus history! The Tony-award-winning Pippin closes on Broadway. Big Apple Circus begins its final week at Lincoln Center. Circus Now: International Contemporary Circus Exposure debuts at NYU Skirball. Come celebrate with us, and experience this exciting time as we honor the art of circus in all its diverse beauty.
