What a great first day at NY Capital District Renaissance Festival
You've got three more chances to get in on the fun, and you can catch me doing three shows a day! I'm up on the hill performing at 11:30, 2:00, and 3:30. I'll be the one off the ground and upside down!

Happy First of May!

One of my favorite things about being a part of this industry is that we celebrate new circus artists in their first season performing; our First of Mays. We are not an industry without faults or gatekeeping, but what a wonderful thing that we can welcome in, lift up, and celebrate those who have found their way into our "tent". If you are a First of May, I'm so glad you are here! Welcome!

As a part of the show, (un)grounded creator and director Amy Tsai offered these words to our audience:

"Imagine a world where everyone's needs are met with ease and understanding, regardless of what or whose they are. In that world, it would not matter what a specific diagnosis or disability is, or even if someone's considered "healthy." There would not be a zero-sum game of resource allocation that only favors the few. Support and accommodation would simply be a given, for everyone.

Making that world a reality can feel so far out of reach. Especially these days, I know. But that's not a reason to stop trying to move towards that world, and that's precisely why art and imagination are so important. Art gives us a safe space to exercise our imaginations, and creating a better world starts with imagining it."
