Performer spotlight: Duble Buble

Some time after Silver Foxes 2024, Bev said to Cheryl: "Hey, we should do a comedy rope act together." And thus was born Duble Buble (pronounced Doo-blay Boo-blay), a partnership based on determining the funniest possible thing we can be doing on stage at any moment. Preferably involving a bucket.

Come see us on 3/21 in the Silver Foxes show at .movementarts! Ticket link in bio.

Performer spotlight!
We are over the moon to have this long-time VA alum back in town from sunny San Diego for her Silver Foxes debut. Heres what .kerrminator has to say about her return to the Seattle stage:

"Jenn loves to train aerial straps. She values steady progress and thoughtful movement.

She has long admired Silver Foxes as an inspirational celebration of experience and depth. Participating this year is a meaningful return to the community where her aerial journey began. She is grateful to be sharing the air again in the place that first gave her wings.

She finds herself in an era of discernment, learning to choose self-trust and to release what no longer fits. "

By supporting the Versatile Arts BIPOC Scholarship, you're paving the way for more voices to be heard, more stories to be told, and more faces to see themselves in the magic of the circus.

We believe that circus can be transformative. As aerial educators, we are grateful to have the opportunity to witness people achieve difficult skills all the time. There's something empowering about working hard towards a skill surrounded by the camaraderie and cheers of your classmates. Aerial is a rewarding outlet for both artistry and athleticism, and we want to help make that available to more of the folks that have been historically excluded.

Donations are tax deductible and eligible for employer match. Link in bio to donate!

Oh and applications are still open for the Jan-June 2024 term!

Applications for the January - June 2024 BIPOC scholarship program are now open!

We recognize that the persistent inequities pervasive in American society have made access to circus training inherently difficult for members of historically marginalized groups, particularly Black, Indigenous, People of Color. Our studio is located in a predominantly white, affluent neighborhood of Seattle, further exacerbating this issue and limiting entry to folks outside of that group.

We believe wholeheartedly in the transformative benefits of circus as an art form, physical practice, and community. This scholarship aims to make circus training available to those who have been historically excluded, and to benefit VA as a whole by addressing a lack of diversity in our community.

Applications will be accepted through November 20th, 2023 🎪♥️

✨ Jen Ryan - Instructor Spotlight - 2023 Workshop Week ✨

Before discovering circus, Jen (she/her) was a soul divided- an artsy weirdo with a passion for athletics. She worked at a rock climbing gym to support herself through art school and ran marathons when she wasn’t teaching art to teenagers. Then, one day, Jen saw a circus performance at a science-fiction convention and her two worlds collided. “Omg!” she thought, “You can be artistic and athletic at the same time!” She was dazzled by the efficiency of this prospect. Serendipitously, a circus school opened in Boston shortly thereafter.

Since that time, Jen has moved from east coast to west coast and up to the PNW, with some international stints in between. She seizes every opportunity to train wherever she goes, picking up new styles, approaches, and theories. Jen tries to impress upon her students that circus is the place where you can have it all- strength, beauty, creativity, discipline, and all the weirdness you can imagine.

✨ Kyla Helgeland Alexander - Instructor Spotlight - 2023 Workshop Week ✨

Kyla Helgeland Alexander (she/her) grew up here in Western Washington. She has been teaching in some fashion since she was 14: piano & vocal lessons, as a preceptor for student midwives, and more recently as a functional strength coach and CPR/First Aid instructor. Her experience as a midwife and as the mother of 3 children led to a particular interest in core function and how it affects the way the rest of the body moves. This has proven useful in her circus training, and she has a particular interest in helping people build functional strength in order to move their bodies safely. Kyla loves training rope, and practices partner acro with her husband as well as dabbling in other circus arts.

In addition to aerial teacher trainings & extensive personal training education, she is a Pregnancy & Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist and a Low Pressure Fitness Certified Trainer.
