“[CircusWest] Day camps provide the opportunity to take a risk and try something new or different because it’s a limited time commitment….Kids move beyond their comfort levels  and learn to them to cope with unfamiliar routines with the staff’s help and parents’ support, and other [CircusWest] children.

Angels in the Air / Program review

“It’s the circus, but don’t expect dancing horses, lion tamers, or clowns. The CircusWest Avatar Circus Project is more about sleek choreography and gravity-defying stunts: contortionists balancing on stacked white chairs, and dancers bending in and out of hoops or umbrellas that hang from the ceiling. Don’t try this at home“

Excerpt Georgia Straight Newspaper - December, 2008

“Avatar is the professional performing arm of CircusWest, Western Canada’s premier training organization in circus arts, a dynamic contemporary circus troupe that brings a seamless magical mix of acrobatics, dance, aerials, clowning, and theatrics in its exuberant multi-media circus spectacles.”
