Mission
Circus Bella's mission is to produce and present high-quality Circus Arts entertainment, accessible to all audiences.
Program accomplishments
- We are the San Francisco Bay Area's premiere one-ring circus, curated in the traditions of earlier eras with forward-thinking sensibilities and flair. Like the word Bella in our name, we celebrate the beauty of the circus art form and the beauty of what humans can do together. Audiences are bedazzled, lifted up, and join in the celebration of the heart and soul of circus: community, joy, and achieving the impossible. We have a diverse and unique company, representing talents from all corners of the world and different backgrounds, perspectives, and special artist's gifts. We feature aerialists, acrobats, family foot jugglers, clowns, and more - all performed to live original music. Throughout the year we present a variety of circus productions which include our Big Top show - an original 90-minute circus spectacular, featuring international circus artists, and local favorite the Circus Bella All-Star Band, as well as our Circus in the Parks a themed series of FREE summer performances in parks.Expenses $729,670
