This Giving Tuesday, support the show that is changing the rules. Donate now at https://omniumcircus.org/donate/ — ACCESSIBILITY VD: The opening shot starts out with a pan around the back of Ringmaster Johnathan Lee Iverson with the captions filling the left half; as it pans around to show his face, the captions flip to the right half until the word “Impossible” appears in a smoky cloud in the top left, which leads into a series of intense clips from “I’mPossible”. Viviene España kicks it off as she spins in the air, then Mr. & Mrs. G in position for Mr, G to shoot a crossbow at an Apple on Mrs. G’s head; Jason Span twirls around a pole in the air followed by Rob and Miss Jane, with Rob jumping on stilts. Next the King Charles Troop is jumping two ropes with a unicycle then graceful dancers dance with blue and white silks. Shenea Stiletto spins with her legs in the air as she hand balances before Rob is bumped in the face with a basketball by Miss Jane. Elan spinning fast in his cyr wheel transitions to a close up of Ballerina Bailey Anne Vincent before changing to the King Charles Troop playing basketball on unicycles. Noemi wrapped in metallic hula hoops leads into Elan with his Diabolos, which is similar to a yo-yo, before showing Noemi contorted shooting a crossbow with her feet. Then, Jen Bricker-Bauer and Dominic Bauer embrace each other as they spin in the air with aerial silks. Ringmaster Johnathan Lee Iverson is in the top left as Poet Anna Gichan performs in ASL in the bottom right; she points to the audience as the camera pans, leading into a beautiful flaming ring of fire that surrounds the words “This giving Tuesday, support the show rewriting the rules...Omnium: A Bold New Circus.” — #OmniumCircus #BoldNewCircus #ImPossible #PhoenixRising #GivingTuesday #GivingTuesdayNow #NotForProfit #DonateToday #SupportArts #DiversifyTheArts #DisabilityVisibility #InclusionRevolution #SupportTheArts #PerformanceArt #AccessibleArt #Accessibility #MakeAccessibleArt #AccessForAll #CircusLife #DonationsNeeded #FuelOurFuture #BIPOCArtists #DisabledArtists #DiversityOnStage #AccessibleFun #SupportEntertainment #DiversityMatters #Inclusionist (at Gallaudet University) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWrLQONgsUN/?utm_medium=tumblr

After a whirlwind two weeks of mounting and performing @omniumcircus , we are back home and finally have time to reflect. In terms of time, going from a ten week run in Tysons Virginia to a one night performance in Washington DC was disappointing. However, without the hard pivot of changing venue from a circus tent to a theater, we wouldn’t have had the unique experience of performing in the Elstad Auditorium on the campus of Gallaudet University; the worlds first higher education facility for the deaf and hard of hearing. They were so gracious to host our show. Thank you @moniquezen for everything. We would like to give special thanks to Artistic Director Noe España for bringing us into this project and for writing a great show. It’s always a pleasure working with you and your talented family, who are so generous and giving. Also, thanks to Director Mark Lonergan for keeping this train on the tracks and moving forward. Thank you Lisa Lewis for trusting us with your vision of creating an all inclusive show. Thanks to the kick ass stage and support crew for overcoming so many obstacles to get us there. And finally, thank you to the cast for your patience, focus, hard work, and determination. See you all down the road! #OmniumCircus #Circus #Choreographers #Dance (at Gallaudet University) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWXKY8EFza2/?utm_medium=tumblr

We don’t always teach choreography with whips in hand but it does help to keep everyone’s attention. 😂 But seriously, the cast is doing great and @omniumcircus is shaping up. Now, time to crack the whip again. 💥 #WhipCrack #OmniumCircus #BoldNewCircus #ImPossible #Gallaudet #GallaudetUniversity #GallaudetTheatre #CircusLife #ShowMustGoOn #Resilience #Empowerment #PerformingArts #DisabledArtist #DeafCulture #DeafDancer #Choreography #DCArts #AccessibleArt #ArtCulture #DiversifyTheArts #DiversityOnStage #ItTakesAVillage #Rehearsal #OnStage #PracticeMakesProgress #OnwardsAndUpwards #Circus #BornToPerform #Choreographers (at Gallaudet University) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWI5BXZgOx0/?utm_medium=tumblr

#repost @omniumcircus From rehearsal to the stage! The Omnium cast has arrived at the Elstad Auditorium at Gallaudet University and is adapting the show to their amazing stage. Here, director Mark Lonergan and choreographers Ottavio Gesmundo and Naomi Brenkman-Gesmundo work on the opening number with the cast. — ACCESSIBILITY ID: A picture of Omnium: A Bold New Circus rehearsing on the stage at Gallaudet; the stage is black accented by red curtains on both sides. A diverse cast of Omnium Superstars are in the center, some kneeling while others gracefully have their arms in the air. Big white letters spell out “Omnium” at the front of the stage. — #OmniumCircus #BoldNewCircus #ImPossible #Gallaudet #GallaudetUniversity #GallaudetTheatre #CircusLife #ShowMustGoOn #Resilience #Empowerment #PerformingArts #DisabledArtist #DeafCulture #DeafDancer #Choreography #DCArts #AccessibleArt #ArtCulture #DiversifyTheArts #DiversityOnStage #ItTakesAVillage #Rehearsal #OnStage #PracticeMakesProgress #OnwardsAndUpwards #Circus #BornToPerform #GratefulThankfulBlessed (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWHCTENvig_/?utm_medium=tumblr
