[A single rope hangs from the ceiling. Erin, white, is wrapped in the rope, mid-air. She wears a green skin tight bodysuit and has mid-length red hair in a side ponytail. Her lower legs end below the knees. Below her are mannequin legs with plants and vines flowing out of them from the top. She hangs, upside down, just above the mannequin legs, touching the plants with her hands.]

Thanks to the generous funding from Ontario Arts Councils SoCirC artists have been doing social circus programs in alternative and unique public secondary schools for the last 4 years, always partnering with school with high populations of youth on the margins. We have also been funded by TDSB for various intensive programs for which the youth often continue with us in our community drop in programs both at SKETCH and Art gallery of Ontario.Check out our school partners below! Thanks to all of the teachers, social workers, Educational Assistants, Principals, and other school staff to help make the programs a success.
