If you like skillful, fun, poetic, awe inspiring entertainment, this is the family show of the season! The theater doors open upon a lone clown-like character, meticulously applying his makeup as the audience filters in. Join the award-winning ensemble as they meander amongst the audience, then join the action onstage, transforming from everyday people into inventive, daring and humorous entertainers with an astonishing array of talents. MIRAGE: A Circus Life was developed around a freestanding aerial sculpture upon which the ensemble company swings and dances, defies gravity and succumbs to it. As the show progresses the sculpture gets taller and more complex until the final dramatic moment when the entire contraption comes apart in a surprising finale. The show is suitable for All Ages. AND MORE. . .! The twins individually choreograph and teach for circus, dance & theater companies and schools. Serenity helped found San Francisco's Circus Center & was Pilates captain for Cirque du Soleil where she worked closely with physical therapists to promote injury prevention & rehabilitation. Elsie has a coach's certification in trampoline & has choreographed for the UGA Dance department, Circus Smirkus, Umo Ensemble, Pilobolus & Sea World, among others.
