FROM THE RINGMASTER

2018 was MAGNIFICENT and we welcome 2019! Looking back on last year gets me lost with everything we accomplished. We produced two successful shows, Jubilee and ParaSoul, and offered amazing summer camps and intensives. We also had to say goodbye to some of our preparatory students as they continue their journey, but we also welcomed new students, new talents and new prospects. Moving into 2019 is a big step, with our plans for this year, but with the continued community support we feel that SDCC will continue to thrive and push the bar.

We are excited to announce our relationship with and their support to assist us in furthering our circus artistry. This summer will be the start of that relationship!

All of our success could not happen without the community, students, support staff and teachers. Thank you for your continued trust and forward thinking. ONWARD!

GET TO KNOW

AVA WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO SDCC? As an aerialist I wanted to develop other circus skills that I had not explored before and also to be part of a supportive performing community where I could thoroughly find my own performing identity. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SKILL? It’s hard to say what my favorite skill is, as I love to continually create new pathways in the air on multiple different aerial apparatus’. FAVORITE CIRCUS MOMENT? Landing an elbow drop on Dance while performing under a big top and when I looked up while still hanging from my elbows everyone had gone from silence to a standing ovation. Moments like that are what push me even further when training.

SIENNA HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN COMING TO SDCC? Since September 6th... my first day of Preparatory. I still remember my first class and I was so stressed out because I thought at the time that my skills were basic. Even though it took my body a litte bit to adjust to all of the training that I was doing, I was so happy to find a place where everyone around me was training hard for circus... I forgot that places like this existed. It has been wonderful getting back into it. WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO BESIDES CIRCUS? Well, I’m a full time student. I’m on my fourth year at UCSD with a major in international studies - political science, and a regional focus in Latin America. I’m also the director of a non-profit called Side by Side that is a community-focused social justice organization dedicated to enacting lasting change through mutually beneficial partnerships. FAVORITE CIRCUS DISCIPLINE? Hand Balancing. I could do it all day. It’s tedius and it makes my brain tired, but I really enjoy the mental challenge. I love constantly thinking, evaluating, and making corrections. I like acro as well, but not as much as handstands because it is not as much of a challenge for me.
