Moments from the week before The Wizard of Oz❤️🎪🌈

Welcome to The Journey — a production of original circus storytelling created and performed by the students of The Rising’s Act Creation Program.
Through dreams, challenges, transformation, resilience, and triumph, these acts invite audiences into deeply personal and imaginative worlds. Using aerial and circus arts as a storytelling medium, performers have not only refined their technical skills, but also developed the ability to communicate emotion, vulnerability, strength, and presence on stage
