Circus Arts Flow🎪🌳🧠
Circus Arts Flow explores the intersection between creative body movement, neuroscience and community. While we have deep connections to professional performers like The 7 Fingers from the “Dear San Francisco” show at Club Fugazi and others, our focus is non-performative. We explore the neuroscience behind creative movement, the benefits of the “flow state”, and how public skill sharing builds community through human IRL connection.

Your Brain on Juggling🧠🤹♀️
Juggling through the lens of neuroscience vs performance focuses on how juggling makes you feel vs what it looks like to someone else. Exercises start with ZERO barrier to entry, low stakes and high reward. You maximize neuroplasticity by allowing mistakes to rewire your brain, and you develop tools to deal with stress and trauma. Neuro-juggling is a sharable super power where difficulty and engagement can be increased through an infinite number of patterns.
