CASTING FOR SUMMER 2025

Seeking artists for our 2025 “Circus in the Parks” season of shows throughout
the Bay Area and Beyond

Circus Bella’s mission is to produce and present high-quality
Circus Arts entertainment, accessible to all audiences.

We are excited to return with our 16th annual “Circus in the Parks” series of FREE community performances in Parks and open spaces. The show, entitled HOOPLA, features our live Circus Bella All-Star Band and the Circus Bella ensemble company, performing in an outdoor ring. 

SEEKING:

  • Dynamic act(s): appropriate for all ages and cultural sensibilities.

  • Specifically looking for high-energy, acrobatic Duo Acts although solo acts will be considered.

  • We are currently not casting Clowns, Contortionists, Cyr Wheel, Chinese Pole, Rola Bola, or Aerial Acts at this time.

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • A willingness to lift, carry haul set-up tear-down (ie. participate in the grunt of the show beyond just performing their act)

  • The ability and experience of working and creating alongside others

  • The ability to perform and collaborate with a live band

  • Although not essential, club juggling and passing skills are an asset

COMMITMENT:

Rehearsals begin mid-May in Oakland, CA. Performances run on weekends, from June through the end of July. Most shows are in the Bay Area with additional dates in Southern California and Reno, NV. Must be available on weekends and some Fridays. Outside the Circus in the Parks season, there are opportunities for additional performances as well as teaching engagements during the week.

COMPENSATION: 

Company members receive a competitive wage dependent on rehearsal participation, performances, and experience. Compensation for housing and travel is included. At this time, performers must have United States citizenship or already be legally authorized to work in the US.

If interested, please email a video/link of your act as well as a resume and any related promotional materials to info@circusbella.org.
