The UNCAAGED PLC Facilitators
We have a shared vision to support our fellow circus and arts professionals, supporters of circus and arts, and those engaged with circus and arts in the Twin Cities by offering personal and professional development opportunities that are centered in wellness and human to human connection.
The UNCAAGED Purpose:
To utilize circus arts to create pathways for everyone, especially people of color, to feel more welcomed and supported in the circus and arts communities,
and,
To use those experiences to enhance our capacity to curate a sense of belonging and intentionality everywhere that we go.
Free Micro-Lecture: Wellness as a Core Value
Because we know these kinds of investments can be difficult to assess, we are offering our first Micro-Lecture of the year without commitment.
​
If you have questions about it let us know. We just wanted people to have the chance to check out some of the benefits of the PLC before taking on a membership.
Currently offer opportunities to collaborate in offering 6-12 week UNCAAGED Courses
& one time workshops for
Youth and Professionals
in the Twin cities.
​
If you know of opportunities, or are the opportunity,
please inquire directly by emailing
