Architecture and Acrobats

Watch the trailer for our soon-to-be released first video: "Architecture and Acrobats: Fairground and O'Fallon Parks."

Architecture and Acrobats is a program that uses circus arts to tell the story of historically and architecturally significant sites in St. Louis through live and video performances created and presented by Circus Harmony youth circus performers. The program includes circus classes for youth in the neighborhoods we are showcasing.

Architecture and Acrobats combines architecture, history, and circus arts. Neighborhood classes and shows in circus arts are provided for free. We will tell the stories of St. Louis’ past through the eyes of its future- the children!

  • Architecture and Acrobats project sites:
  • Fairground and O’Fallon Park
  • Fort Belle Fontaine
  • St. Louis Public Libraries
  • Old North St. Louis

We are grateful to PNC Arts Alive, Missouri Humanities Foundation, Saigh Foundation of St. Louis, Trio Foundation of St. Louis, and the Arts & Education Council, for supporting this project!
