SPECIAL GUEST 
TEACHING ARTISTS!


Clown Compost Class with Karen Gersch

A workshop on digging into one's physical clown; defining energy and emotions, using movement, stillness, timing, pace, expression and sound.   The dictionary calls COMPOST:  "converting organic matter to something that is enriching".   Exactly what clowning strives to do.

Renowned clown trainer and choreographer, Karen Gersch, returns to Circus Harmony at City Musuem on Thursday, January 29th to offer this wonderful workshop on physical absurdity and comic antics.  Gersch, who Jessica Hentoff declares has a black belt in clowning, will run a two-hour intensive workshop 7-9 PM  that will be open to the public. The cost for the workshop is $20. To reserve your spot call 314-436-7676 or register HERE!

Music to defy gravity to! 
At Circus Harmony, we are fortunate to have a live band that accompanies our annual show. The Circus Harmony Band, under the direction of Adam Rugo, is made up of some of the best musicians in St. Louis: Matt Henry on drums, Charlie Brown on keys, Aaron Lehde on woodwinds, Adam Hucke on trumpet, Ric Vice on bass, Danielle Aslanian and Nikki Glenn on violin, and Adam Rugo on guitar.  They have just completed a new Circus Harmony CD, ASCENSION, which  features music composed by Adam Rugo for Circus Harmony and represents a variety of styles, from Klezmer, Classical, and Jazz, to Rock, R&B, and Bulgarian. This studio recording captures the drama, excitement, and high-energy of a live circus performance in music that will inspire you to express yourself, to leap over life's obstacles and ascend to your highest dreams just like the flying children of Circus Harmony.
