We’ve turned ten!
Acrobatic Conundrum is a contemporary circus company that was founded in Seattle in November 2012. In the past 10 years we’ve made 8 circus cabarets and 4 touring productions, hired scores of circus performers, and reached tens of thousands of audience members. We could never have done it without you, the humans who have applauded, loved and supported the work we do.
Though we are a small arts organization, we have a huge impact locally and nationally. We give opportunities to performers to create ensemble-based, theatrical circus performances and to tell personal stories. We believe that storytelling is a powerful force for bringing people together and empowering them. In a typical year, 80% of our operating budget goes directly to artists to bring their craft on our stage. Funds raised will ensure ensemble-based contemporary circus persists in Seattle and the U.S.. Though we live in times of increased economic hardship and climatic instability, we hope to allay existential dread and celebrate the power of art and community.

With your donation, you give the gift of circus
Acrobatic Conundrum is the product of work, sweat, training, research and support from friends like you. Your support goes to everything from paying artists, to renting venues, to creating free shows (like the Contemporary Circus Flight, December 2018 in Seattle).
Circus arts are experiencing an international renaissance. In the United States, the art has grown exponentially - in number of educational facilities, recreational participants, professional students, artists and enthusiasts. We’re pleased to say that Acrobatic Conundrum is one of the most prominent American contemporary circus companies.
In turn, we’re doing our part to share the love of circus (and performing arts in general) whenever and wherever we can - through informative lobby displays, fun videos and workshops with circus artists and non-circus folk alike.
Have a hand in sharing the circus love by making a donation today!
