***New!***
Ever wonder exactly where we performed and stopped and visited along the tour? Now you can find out, on the Criss Cross google map extravaganza! Including where we performed, places we got grease, people we stayed with, and a few other interesting tidbits – all very exact, down to the precise street location (to the best of my memory, and my memory’s pretty good since I was the one who spent the most time consulting Google maps while we were on tour).

Our tour is over, so can no longer do performances as the Criss Cross Circus, but various members of us are scattered around the country in little clusters and are always up for putting on a show. Our highest concentration of folks is in Western Massachusetts, in Amherst where most of us go to school at Hampshire College. The best way to get in touch with us is by emailing circusfolkunite@gmail.com.

Booking Info
Set in a post-apocalyptic climate-changed world, our adaptable show combines circus skills in a fluid narrative dealing with ecological themes. Featuring skills such as acrobatics, juggling, stilt-walking, dancing and clowning, and with a striking ‘ecopunk’ aesthetic, the show can be adapted for general audiences, kids, adults, or any other demographic. An optional fire performance is available for outdoor venues. We can also do workshops in jugging and circus, facepainting, and general roustabouting to add ambiance to your event.

Looking forward to meeting you in Olympia.
Can you do a workshop/ playshare before Super Saturday?
You were mentioned at the juggling club in passing… lol
that is, some strange guy rode up and then we heard an announcement “blah-blah circus on super sat”… another guy said, “two circuses…” I said, “what’s all this?” jugglers said “we’re a circus too”
well, i just don’t know what to think, but the local CLOWNS want in on the action… I don’t speak for the whole alley, but certain radical elements like myself will welcome you.
please call (360) 888-2729 or email jusbytheclown@yahoo.com

Neat bus! Saw it Wednesday on I-5 in California up near Mt Shasta. I was in the 18 wheeler.

Saw your bus in Elgin, IL tonight while you were scrounging for fuel. Really wanted to take the time to say hello and check out the bus as the veggie fuel thing has interested me for quite a while, but my wife and I had to get somewhere. Wish I would have heard about your show when you passed through the Chicagoland area, sure my family would have love it. Happy travels!
