Greensboro Summer Solstice: Fairies and Fire

On June 17, 2017 Imagine Circus stilt walking fairies fluttered around the 13th Annual Greensboro Summer Solstice, parading with characters from Paperhand Puppet Intervention and costumed festival patrons. Later in the evening, Imagine Circus presented a fire show sponsored by Corrupted Arts and MC’d by Madelyn Greco of LivingBrush. The fire show included artful prop manipulation, mesmerizing fire dancing, and fire acrobatics! The mission of Greensboro Summer Solstice is to create “an experience for festival-goers that blends local artisans, performers and budding entrepreneurs with a little bit of magic, opening up imaginations to the possibilities in each of us.” We were grateful to be a part!

NCMA Family Renaissance Festival

We loved spending our Sunday afternoon at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, NC for the Family Renaissance Festival on June 4th, 2017. In the beautiful sunshine Imagine Circus featured stilt walking and juggling across the serene surroundings of the museum park. We enjoyed performing alongside friends from One Tribe as they shared the rhythm of the drums and the power of music. The event offered various activities and attractions including mask making, live action renaissance combat demos, classic renaissance games, short plays, and tasty food trucks. This event happens every year and is great for the whole family!

Our hand balancing acrobat/contortionist impressed concert goers between band sets while our stilt walkers joined in the Fire Leopard hype, cheering on the Slow Rider competition, busting a move at the Dance Off, and adding to the overall party vibe!
