Unfortunately, the American Experience PBS' circus video page went down on Sunday, just as they released the mini documentary about Sidney 'Iking' Bateman and his extraordinary journey from the streets of St. Louis to Circus Harmony to Cirque du Soleil! Online is the only place to see this video since it is not part of The Circus series which only covers the American circus up to 1956.

We apologize for this inconvenience and hope it is working soon. Meanwhile, you can also watch the video on the American Experience PBS YouTube page or Facebook page . We are so excited that the American Experience PBS chose us as a digital companion piece to their upcoming series, The Circus , to show what is happening in modern American circus today.

We hope after watching this film and witnessing the transformative power of our social circus program, that you will consider becoming a sustaining member of Circus Harmony! We would deeply appreciate your one-time or ongoing pledge to support the work we do helping young people defy gravity and other limitations. They will not all go on to become world-touring circus stars; some will be teachers, accountants, electricians or other jobs. But all will learn how to be compassionate, contributing members of their communities.

We also invite you to see our current flock of flying children and attend our Juggling Bal l at City Museum on November 10. This annual event is an eclectic evening of dining, drinking, dancing, and daring with honorary chairperson, St. Louis American's, Chris King, that features great auction items and performances by our talented troupers. Please join us or sponsor a table and we will invite family members of our students on your behalf!

Thank you and please share the inspirational American Experience PBS video,

The Acrobat , with anyone who might need to feel uplifted today!
