Since its premiere at Central Connecticut State University's Global Environmental Sustainability Symposium on April 7, ARTFARM's all-new Circus for a Fragile Planet SUBMERGED! has been making a splash throughout the northeast. Ten shows have taken the five member company to schools all over Connecticut and New Jersey, during which time over 2000 students and teachers have been dazzled by the combination of stunning circus artistry and compelling science.
Now you have a couple of opportunities to experience this unique 60 minute circus yourself!
On SUNDAY, May 22 at 3 pm, Circus for a Fragile Planet SUBMERGED! will be performing at the Guilford Community Center, 32 Church St, Guilford, CT. This performance is sponsored by the Shoreline Outdoor Education Center, and tickets are $12 for adults and $7 for kids (less for SOEC members).

Created by and featuring ARTFARM's Executive Director Dic Wheeler as Professor Offli Varminhere, SUBMERGED! takes environmental circus to new levels of skill and advocacy, deftly combining breathtaking circus arts with accurate and compelling action points about the state of the Earth's hydrosphere. Adults and young people alike will love this fast-paced show, and no one will come away thinking about water in quite the same way again. Featuring ARTFARM circus company members Megan Berritta, Maegan Fuller, Allison McDermott and Joel Melendez as the "Fossil Fools", Circus for a Fragile Planet SUBMERGED! is the result of nearly a year of training, research and experimentation -- we think you will impressed and inspired by this unique combination of circus art and environmental education. Set and props are designed by Jason Leinwand; costumes by Heidi Kirchofer. Circus for a Fragile Planet SUBMERGED! is co-directed by ARTFARM Artistic Director Marcella Trowbridge.
