Mission
The Flying Gravity Circus is a nonprofit youth organization promoting positive development in children and teens through comprehensive circus arts education. We provide opportunities for learning, performing, and teaching through both recreational and pre-professional programs, aiming to reach and benefit as many individuals as possible.
About Us
The Flying Gravity Circus youth performance troupes perform in theaters and schools across New England and beyond, and they offer workshops to help communities build their own youth circus programs. Troupers also participate in local parades, festivals, special events, and Old Home Days celebrations.
From its home base in Wilton, NH, FGC runs beginner to intermediate circus classes for children, teens, and adults. FGC also reaches out to the community through Circus After School Programs (CASPs) at local elementary schools, as well as classes for homeschool families. Our Silver Lining Circus Camp provides healthy summer fun for kids in the Souhegan/Monadnock regions.
History
The Flying Gravity Circus was founded in 1999 by Jackie Davis, a circus educator, mime artist, and “circademic” scholar. Jackie believes circus is for everyone, and “you are entirely perfect for learning circus!"
FGC was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 2016 under the leadership of current artistic director and head coach Jonathon Roitman, who was himself a founding member of the original youth troupe.
Flying Gravity Circus does not and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of its activities or operations.
