I watched this group perform their show at a holiday party for my tennis club. They were great! They kept all the kids entertained, but more than that, they had the adults laughing and cheering along with them too. My husband and I really enjoyed their show. Very talented and professional.

They have also received training internationally, at the National Institute of Circus Arts in Melbourne, Australia and La Tarumba, Peru's national circus school.
Circus Momentus is currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area, but they are found up and down the West Coast - North to Seattle, Olympia, Portland, & Eugene, and south to Los Angeles, San Diego, and points between. They also spend part of the year on the east coast, between Boston and New York City, to perform and teach.

What to Expect
Typical Gig Duration: 3 - 180 minutes
We provide 2 types of performance; many events will be best served by a combination of the two.
Stage shows, led by our Ringmaster, provide the full experience of a circus show, bringing the big top into your event!
Walkaround, or Ambient performance, provides performers in elaborate costumes, mingling with guests and showing off their skills in a closeup and interactive setting. This is especially suited to earlier on in the event, where the performers prove an ice breaker and help the guests get into the spirit of things.

Additional Notes:
We have an on-staff lighting designer who is available as an add-on to any events you book us for. Not only is he able to create custom lighting for your event, he can provide the lights as well. For many clients we find that lighting can sometimes be an afterthought, and it requires them to search for yet another company to fulfill the needs of the event. Why not let us handle that for you? We know how to show off our amazing artists in their best light, and we can save you money by adding it on to what we're already providing!
