Siren Nation is very proud to partner with Circus Artemis, an all women’s circus, for their premier event this October. You can read a bit about them in this awesome article from the Portland Tribune.

Taking a cue from a legendary “strong woman,” Portland’s most powerful, most talented female circus artists have united under a common goal. Their mission? To blow audiences away with their amazing feats of strength, skill and beauty. Welcome to Circus Artemis, Portland’s new all-women circus.

Circus Artemis will debut Oct. 16-18 with a variety show featuring the absolute finest female circus acts Portland has to offer, not to mention live music, a raffle of ridiculously fun prizes and pre-show antics. And it will all take place in a unique, supportive atmosphere where women artists can shine.

Circus Artemis performers have trained with instructors from Cirque Du Soliel and the Ecole Nationale de Cirque in Montreal, taught at the renown San Francisco Circus Center, performed nationally and internationally – and keep Portland entertained while working locally with Do Jump! Extremely Physical Theater, A-WOL Dance Collective, The Nomadic Theater Company, Flamebuoyant Productions and more.

Our stellar lineup includes: A-WOL Dance Collective (aerial and dance), Brittany Walsh (contortion/hand-balancing), Daniela Steiner (single point trapeze), Heather Pearl (clowning), Jack Stock Lynn (clowning), Kricket Caffery (aerial/acrobatics), Kyoko Uchida (aerial fabric), Revolva (hula hoops), Shireen Press (aerial/poi/acrobatics), Shersten Finley (aerial straps), Sophie Bloch (music), Sy Parrish (single point dance trapeze) and Tera Nova Zarra (clowning/comedy).
