Celebrating strength, unity, and the sparkle of femininity.

Enter a world of glitter, sass, strength, and girlhood in Collective Circus' newest work, Stir The Pot. Tumbling through real experiences of inequality and societal pressures, this group of fierce, passionate female circus performers stir up and tear apart the traditional, domestic views of what it means to be female. In a celebration of bows, sparkle, and sheer muscle, these acrobats tackle everything from the restrictions and challenges to the connection and strength of femininity. Brace yourselves as you bear witness to a gravity-defying, nail-biting, untamed exploration of girl power.
