OPA! The Circus is growing faster than our little tent can accommodate! So many fantastic artists, musicians, and circus folks are coming on down to join the show. The Imperial OPA for the full summer of 2010 was (and still is) providing a stage and voice for many local artists to utilize and express themselves on, teaching many others different circus skills and trying our hardest to be a force of good and inspiration in Atlanta! Today we ask for a little in return. We are launching our first Circus Fan Contribution Drive, with gift offers! Our goal is to raise $3,000.00 to buy an aerial rig in 30 days or less! the_rig This rig is an 18.5' aluminum structure that will allow our show to grow by leaps and bounds. With it we will perform aerial acts at street events, in public parks and at large venues. A possibility which has already piqued the interest of many people. In addition to this, this rig would allow the show to experiment with other forms of circus arts not yet done in the city. We will be combining aerial performance with puppetry. We will also use this rig as a way to enhance the training of our performers - by providing them harnesses to do higher back flips with and added safety when body stacking, this is all very important as we take safety first. Our goal of $3,000.00 is a lot - however if broken down its just 30 people contributing $100, or 60 contributing $50, or 125 contributing $25. With these numbers this is easily achievable, but we need your help! For you, our fans and audience, are a key part of the circus.
