A few times a year we host a show…Quirques…in our Blackbox Theatre. These shows are a showcase of new and questionable material with plenty of cross over between circus, theatre, sport, burlesque, music… etc. The performers are members of the Underground Circus as well as guests from near and far…sometimes very far. The performances showcased in our Quirques shows are typically acts that are still in the development stage, they are not always polished to perfection but they are always entertaining. Quirques is our opportunity to try out new material, acts, ideas and general circus fun. To be notified of the next Quirques follow us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/tuc.undergroundcircus

We are big supporters of a number of charitable events and initiatives. As with any company, we can’t do every charitable event that is asked of us but we try to fit in as many as we can throughout the year. If you have an event or initiative that you would like to propose please contact us with the details.

Yes we can. We have a variety of costuming, props, and music that we work with regularly which we can adapt to fit each event’s needs. If we don’t have something that fits we can work with you to develop custom aesthetics that will bring each event to life.

Yes we can! We love live music. We have performed with live musicians, everything from individual pop singers, to aboriginal vocal and drumming artists, to entire live orchestras. As with any music, if we are performing a Feature Act, we will need a copy of the music ahead of time so we can rehearse our acts.

Yes, Each of our performers is adept at performing to different styles of music, however We do need time to rehearse with the new music. We can adjust our acts to fit specific music requests if given advance notice.

Similar to Ambience Acts, Roving Acts are not meant to be the focus of the entire audience at one time. Roving Acts meander through the audience creating up close encounters with guests. These acts are interactive to the guests, environment and theme of events.

Multiple & Synchronized Performers consist of two or more individuals performing on separate apparatus either in sync as a Feature Act or simultaneously as an Ambience Act.

Solo Performers/Performances consist of one individual performing on a single apparatus as either a Feature Act or Ambiance Act.

Ambiance Acts create or enhance a mood or atmosphere through movements that are responsive to each event, audience, and music playing.  These acts are not set to specific music nor are they the focus of attention of the entire audience at any given time.  Ambiance acts can be performed more than once during an event or show and are often done in sets of 10-20 minutes depending on the act itself.

A feature act is a choreographed piece set to music, designed to draw focus and attention of the audience for the duration of the act. Feature acts are typically performed once during an event or show.  The average length of a feature act varies but can be anywhere from 4-7 minutes.

Acts range in length base on a number of variables. Typically they are anywhere from 4-7 minutes long.
