About Almanac Dance Circus Theatre
Almanac Dance Circus Theatre is an award-winning, Philadelphia-based, contemporary circus company dedicated to original works of genre-defying art. Since its founding, Almanac has premiered 11 full-length shows, touring across the United States and internationally in Mexico and the United Kingdom. Almanac’s virtuosic improvised and commissioned performances have been featured at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, FringeArts, New York Live Arts, New York Botanical Gardens, and beyond. Almanac is also know for innovative, community-centered event production, as exemplified by Rocky Award-winning Fit Fest and acclaimed Cannonball Festival, which produced 28 full-length works in 2021, including three Fringie Award-winning productions. Through hybrid experimentation, deep narratives, and open environments of circus learning, Almanac gives audiences access to a little bit (or a lot of) everything so they can experience the vicarious thrill of performance without barriers. Almanac company members come from a range of backgrounds including theatre, dance, circus, gymnastics, education, event production, and advocacy. We celebrate our ensemble’s range of experience and expertise and uplift the notion that we can do more together than we ever could apart.
