Circus on Call in New Orleans
Here is a great initiative from New Orleans based circus artist Clay Mazing! He responds to emergency calls with outdoor circus entertainement acts to help maintain mental health in his local community.
"Smiling faces, visits from friends and family, light-hearted entertainment—all are essential in keeping people, especially children, comforted and calm. Amidst COVID-19, social distancing has restricted these interactions, and places like hospitals—that need the smiles the most—have limited these uplifting measures. Emergency Circus has come to the rescue with Circ-a-Grams."
Based in New Orleans, Louisiana, Emergency Circus founder Clay Mazing has taken to the streets to deliver Circ-a-Grams around the Big Easy. Atop his “Shzambulance,” Clay dazzles audiences from afar with knife juggling, bullwhip stunts, and the message that we all have “superpowers” like his well-trained circus skills—they’re just waiting to be unlocked through dedication and confidence."
"Simply call 1-(NOW)-CIRCUS-1 and leave a message to request a performance."
