This October, artists from around the country will come together for the very first circus festival of its kind - Southern Fried Circus Fest! Located in Dallas, Texas, SFCF is a multi-disciplinary festival featuring workshops and classes led by world-renowned artists.

The festival itself will be held October 1-6, 2016. The festival will be kicked off by the Act Development Showcase, followed by a variety of classes and workshops. For those interested in performing at the showcase, video submissions of your act will be due by July 5th, 2016. Performers will receive feedback based on the submitted video in addition to feedback from a panel of professional aerialists at the Showcase itself. Submissions will be accepted for silks, lyra, trapeze, hammock, cyr, straps, corde lisse, adagio & more. Solo, duo, and group acts welcome. We look forward to flying with everyone in October!!

One of the best parts about coming to SFCF is the opportunity to immerse yourself in circus surrounded by talented instructors and supportive students... these aren't "do the thing once and forget it" type experiences!

SFCF attendees have the chance for immersion in Chloe Marvel Light Axelrod's unique style of lyra in her 5-day series class, "San Francisco Style Hoop," Monday-Thursday (10/1 - 10/5) at 11:30am.

"Offering a well rounded idea of how to train like me! Warm-ups, to strength training, to tricks, and spins. We will put it all together by the end of the week into one of my classic combos. The next step you to take it home and make into your own adding personality, style and flair!"

Do you know what's keeping you safe in the air? Don't leave your safety while dangling to chance! Learn the basics of aerial rigging with Colleen Tabolt at her "Rigging for Aerialists" workshop on Saturday, 9/29 at 5pm!

"A basic introduction for all those who would like to know more about aerial rigging.

This two-hour workshop is an introduction to aerial rigging and will give you the tools to begin to rig your apparatus safely.

Attention will be paid to hands-on learning, but the course will be largely lecture based due to the nature of the material. We will discuss common equipment, ratings and capacities, anchor points, venue/ space assessment, materials and safety checks, and rescue plans.

Ideal for aerial students, those who own their own equipment, and information seekers."
