About
Almanac Dance Circus Theatre
July 27, 2023
Almanac Dance Circus Theatre is an award-winning contemporary circus company dedicated to original, genre-defying works. Based in Philadelphia, Almanac’s multidisciplinary ensemble comes from a range of backgrounds including theater, dance, circus, gymnastics, education, event production, and advocacy. The result is a company that combines the storytelling of theater, the movement of dance, and the acrobatics of circus to create brand-new, virtuosic works of art. Since its founding, Almanac has premiered 11 full-length shows, touring across the United States and internationally in Mexico and the United Kingdom. At Jacob’s Pillow, the company performed Communitas, a work in which human sculptures and acrobatic encounters animate the tale of the founding of a civilization. An original musical score by award-winning composer Jordan McCree intensifies the relationship between performers at the edge of their abilities and an audience witnessing genuine risk.
