- This is a shared community space
for all of the circus disciplines
that we have here in Madison.
It's a space for creativity, for fun, for all sorts of things.
I've been involved with the Circus Space
since the beginning.
We wanted a space where everybody could be
free to practice the circus art that inspires them.
And to share it
with other people who have similar interests.
- So this space is great
'cause it's a huge open space that's really collaborative.
People can come in and do something they're interested in.
All of our classes.
We have shows that are open to the public.
All of our stuff is open to the public.
People come in and they'll try something
and they'll really like it.
- About one year from now,
we're expecting the space that we are in today to be torn down
and replaced with an an apartment complex.
So, while that is a challenge
for the future of the Circus Space,
it's also an opportunity for us to grow
and expand to a larger space.
So, we are hoping to build ourselves a new warehouse
very close by on the same plot of land
where we will have more space for classes, for workshops,
and for individual members to practice.
I'm really proud of my role in making this space a reality.
And I'm excited to see what the next couple of years
has in store.
- The space is my life.
I spend hours and hours here.
This space is a home away from home.
And this community is like a big family to me,
so I love it.
