Outlaw Cirkus Events

[carnytrash]

For the past ten years, following a devastating fire that claimed the lives of nearly the entire troupe, Outlaw Cirkus has remained a figment of the imaginations of those fortunate enough to have witnessed their infamous New Jersey shows. Whether it was a darkened basement, spacious backyard or under the big top of trees deep in the Pine Barrens, the audiences were abundant and they never left disappointed. The tragedy that be...fell the troupe put an end to what has been described as a hallucinogenic tour of the human psyche through variety arts. The members that survived the vicious arson scattered across the country or passed on over the years, leaving one to struggle keeping the legacy alive.

Until now.

STARTING IN JANUARY, EVERY THIRD THURSDAY OF THE MONTH, OUTLAW CIRKUS WILL BE HOLDING AN OPEN INVITE FOR AUDITIONS AND JOB INTERVIEWS.

We are seeking any circus, sideshow, fire act as well as strange talents and musicians of any kind. Right now we are in the process of becoming a legitimate non-profit organization, so the bigger we can build the community, the better opportunity we have of getting grants. Why is this so important? Because we feel that variety arts deserve recognition for being a viable way of making a living. Wouldn't you like the government to give you money to do something you enjoy?

The first meeting will be held on January 19 staring at six p.m. If you would like to audition your talents, volunteer for a number of positions that are currently vacant [promotion, costume/prop making, etc.] or just want more information about who we are and the goals we are working towards, please feel free to attend.

Meetings are held at our exclusive location in Fishtown [Philadelphia], which is walking distance from the EL, bus routes on Frankford Ave and route 95. Interested parties should either PM me here or e-mail outlawcirkus@gmail.com for address/directions.

We are also considering opening the location up for other services, such as offering travelers a place to stay, which would include at least one meal and use of on site facilities. If this would be something of interest, please let me know.

Aw man, I start clown college in Febuary. If I go near Philly when I hit the road again can I volunteer? Ill clown around and pass out flyers and shit. I can spin a little fire and I play the ukulele and irish concertina. I'll stand on my head and eat a bug!

 

[carnytrash]

Absolutely! If it is something you are interested in doing full time I am corresponding with a booking agent and planning on having a lot of events coming up so I definitely need people that can travel/perform frequently.

On a related note, Outlaw Cirkus is hosting our very first Meeting of the Minds, open to the public in order to let people know who we are, what we do and the goals we are working towards. Anyone is welcome to come, either RSVP to the event on FB or send me a message here if you want to come so I can give you the address.
