About
Pause. Shift. Rebound is a collaborative, contemporary circus piece that explores the magic of live performing arts and everything that makes this realm possible - an important celebration created during the time of the global pandemic where we saw the arts industry and artists suffer.
We wrote this show specifically during COVID-19 in order to:
- Celebrate and support local Vancouver artists, musicians, arts venues and restaurants
- Remind the audience of the nostalgia and magic of performance arts through an immersive experience that takes viewers through a world they know, love and miss
In the spirit of community, collaboration and knowledge sharing, our team shared our process, pricing, ticketing and release model to other groups. We are proud that this project inspired similar pandemic projects with other circus groups such as Ten The Show by the Little Red Ball Company and Circus Scenes from a Pandemic with the Alberta Circus Arts Festival.
