The 2nd Annual UMO Circus Spectacular!

An event for the whole family! Full of tumbling, performances, prizes, music, desserts, music and more!
All to Benefit the UMO Ensemble and UMO School of Physical Arts!

 WHEN:  Saturday, February 6th; Doors open at 6pm   
WHERE:  Open Space for Arts & Community, 18870 103rd Ave SW, Vashon.

The UMO Circus Spectacular will be full of spectacular fun: performances by UMO School students, the UMO Ensemble, our good friends Acrobatic Conundrum, and fabulously quirky music from Miles and Karina.
In true midway fashion, kids will be able to play the hat toss for prizes - and try out some circus fun with UMO instructors on our tumble trak and balance beam!

The evening will unfold with fun for all ages, kids and grown-ups alike. From 6pm to 7pm the Circus Midway will be open for play - with snacks and beverages available for purchase - as Miles & Karina serenade the crowd, and everyone has a chance to buy RAFFLE tickets.

At 7pm, fabulous performances will begin, followed by a chance to support the work of UMO, a Dessert Dash at 8pm and Raffle Drawing!

All proceeds from the evening will support the UMO School of Physical Arts - including purchasing equipment for our new Parkour course, scholarships, and additional classes.

UMO students have the chance to learn extraordinary skills at the School. One longtime student says:
“I don’t want to do anything where you win or lose in public. Aerial and circus gives me a chance to pursue a challenging sport AND a form of expression in one activity. I don’t have to beat anyone in order to perform - the more the merrier. And I can go as high as I want to go.”

The evening will also benefit the artistic work of UMO Ensemble, including future performances of the acclaimed FAIL BETTER: Beckett Moves UMO - which recently won its second Footlight Award from the Seattle Times.

The artists of the Circus Spectacular are just that - spectacular. UMO advanced aerial students have been studying for over 7 years and are truly glorious to watch.

Acrobatic Conundrum, Seattle’s premier contemporary circus arts company, creates ensemble-based performances that engage and amaze audiences with virtuosic circus skill, dance and physical theater. You can visit their website at www.acrobaticconundrum.com/ for a glimpse of their spectacular artistry.

Miles and Karina are a delightfully quirky musical duo, whose most recent work includes composing silent film scores the Seattle International Film Festival and more. Visit www.milesandkarina.com/Home.html for a taste of their music!
And the UMO Ensemble artists will pull tricks both old and new out of their deep, bold sleeves of physical, outlandish art.

Tickets are $25 for Adults, $10 for youth, and $50 for a family (including up to 2 adults and up to 3 kids). Tickets are available at http://circusspectacular.brownpapertickets.com and at the Door.
