Thank you for all of your support! We’ve raised $636,000 so far, and we need your help to reach our capital campaign goal of $1 million for a new, larger, more amazing circus space! Our goal is to raise another $70,000 by the end of 2018.
As we head into the holiday season, we often take a moment to think about the things and people that matter most to us. This is a time for community, for creativity, and for supporting one another. If, during your holiday reflection, you feel the desire, consider giving to the Madison Circus Space.
- Donate! Any amount helps!
- Donate stock, mutual funds, or real estate for tax savings.*
- Provide a low-interest personal loan.*
*Please contact Director of Development Stephanie Richards, Stephanie@madisoncircusspace.com, for details.

Moving Away from the Wall: Finding Independence in your Handstands
Tuesday, November 16th, 6-7:30 pm
Starting with a thorough wrist and shoulder warm-up, we’ll dive into some floor exercises to take you through your natural range of motion and prep you for good alignment and strong pushing. After that, we’ll drill a few back-to-wall handstands, face-to-wall handstands, and cartwheels. Using spotters and mats, you’ll learn a progression you can use at your own pace to eventually move away from the wall and feel confident in bailing out of an unassisted handstand — giving you the freedom to train wherever and whenever you want!
Register here.

We were thrilled to open our doors to the community for all to join the circus for Halloween. We had an amazing turnout and had so much fun showing our community members how we like to have fun at the circus.

Madison Circus Space had a fantastic time hosting the Monona East Side Business Alliance for their Business After 5 networking event. Some brave business folks tried circus arts, played networking games, and enjoyed lyra, trapeze, diablo, and sling performances. The costume contest was quite a hit, too!
