At 7 pm on Thursday, April 16, Buckman Arts Center at St. Mary’s Episcopal School, 60 Perkins Extended, will welcome the first-of-its-kind Omnium Circus! An inclusive cast of the genre’s most noted, multi-talented, and multi-abled dancers, aerialists, contortionists, and balance artists defies expectations with skill, ingenuity, and teamwork. With ballet, contemporary dance, juggling, unicycle stunts, acrobatics, gymnastics, slack wire, and hula hooping, audiences will journey to a world where all things and all bodies are possible with the power and perseverance of the human spirit. This performance showcases the talented work of hearing-impaired and disabled artists.
