About this Event
An inspiring performance of collaboration, cooperation, and creativity among Oakland youth from two different organizations!
Juggling! Acrobatics! Stilt Dancing! Aerial Arts! And MORE!
The WOYCC, now in its third year, is a partnership between Prescott Circus Theatre and Kinetic Arts Center that builds bridges among East Bay youth from different socio, economic, and racial backgrounds through circus arts training and performance.
In just 24 hours, students from Prescott Circus Theatre's Pathways program and Kinetic Arts Center's Circus Spire troupe, come together to create a completely original performance.
The WOYCC is an example of how the performing arts can facilitate and expand understanding, belonging, and skill building among youth from different backgrounds. Please support this exercise in building our shared capacity to live, love, create, and thrive in a multicultural world.
Donations are welcomed. 100% of the donations will go towards our artists and production expenses. Please consider making a contribution!
