Our “Clown Car Picnic” visited Vic West Elementary School today.
We couldn’t have asked for a more enthusiastic audience 👏👏👏
The show was followed by a Q & A with the children plus an interactive station where we taught plate spinning and flower sticks.
It was a delightful time and as one little audience member told us- “watching the show made her feel good 😊 “…. And that’s just what the circus should do!!
If you’d like to inquire about having The Rising’s Clown Car Picnic visited you send us a DM or email us through our website’s contact us page.
This show can be performed indoors or outdoors…even in your own backyard if you’re looking for the best summer birthday party ever!!

Welcome to The Journey — a production of original circus storytelling created and performed by the students of The Rising’s Act Creation Program.
Through dreams, challenges, transformation, resilience, and triumph, these acts invite audiences into deeply personal and imaginative worlds. Using aerial and circus arts as a storytelling medium, performers have not only refined their technical skills, but also developed the ability to communicate emotion, vulnerability, strength, and presence on stage
