Social Circus

Rainbow Militia’s
Traveling Circus Wagon:
Art for All

 

PLEASE NOTE

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, Rainbow Militia has decided it is irresponsible to put on events that gather large groups of people together. Therefore, our 2020 travels have been suspended until it is safe for both performers and audiences to once more experience the magic that is Rainbow Militia Circus.

Art Is For Everybody

Rainbow Militia believes that art should be accessible to everybody, no matter where they come from.

In the spring of 2019, Rainbow Militia along with the Unbuilt Library built a traveling circus wagon featuring a 19 foot aerial rig and fold out stage. The wagon visited over 7 Denver neighborhoods with low access to the arts putting on free shows featuring circus set to live music, community circus workshops, and talent showcases of neighborhood artists. Featuring stilt walking, contortion, juggling, aerial dance, acrobatics and more, these shows brought the community together around an evening of art.

Now, this wagon is available to come to your neighborhood! Partnerships with neighborhood organizations, businesses, community groups, rec centers, food pantries and more, allow us to showcase Denver’s best talent (including YOU and your neighbors) on a unique traveling stage!

Speaking My Language

While dance and circus is largely a non-verbal art-form, all spoken word is translated into languages that make the most sense for the neighborhoods we visit. Two ringleaders speaking both English and Spanish along with partnerships with neighborhood translators will make sure that no matter who our visitors are, they feel included and welcomed. 

It's Showtime!

Each neighborhood circus will include a day of fun! 

Collaborations with neighborhood pools, rec centers and parks mean that neighbors will be able to experience all the summer activities early in the day. 

Circus workshops  teach our neighbors how to tumble, juggle, hula hoop, go upside down, clown and more. 

Open mic style talent shows allow neighborhood artists to share their talents from the circus wagon stage.

Booths from neighborhood organizations and businesses will showcase the amazing things each neighborhood has to offer.

Finally, a showcase of incredible circus and live music will cap off the event, offering the perfect opportunity for a picnic dinner with the family. These shows will feature a mix of carefully curated circus students from throughout Colorado, along with talented professional circus performers and Denver's finest bands and musicians, in an unforgettable evening. 

Each show will feature a different band and cast so each evening will be a new and exciting experience!

This Is YOUR Circus

These shows will be more than just a presentation of circus talent. They will be a true gathering of the community. For each neighborhood, Rainbow Militia will partner with neighborhood associations, artists, businesses, and non-profit organizations to truly showcase these vibrant communities.

Do you have a talent that you want to share? From garage bands to rollerskating disco dancers, we want you on our stage.
