Survivors' Circus Tour 2016 By Troupe Director Sarvenaz Moshfegh Asiedu

The Kiva Center was the perfect ending to a fantastic and inspirational run with the Survivors Circus. We were welcomed wholeheartedly and really felt attended to the Kiva frequency.

The performance was once again a one of a kind experience as the players expressed survivor archetypes in greater depth than ever before. The Quiet One drew the audience in with her truthtelling intensity and dance moves; Miss Pussy was in top form, showing the world how to be "vulnerable and strong at the same time"; and  Spider Lady's cathartic flesh eating was as delectable as ever.

It was clear to me in the "talk back" that no detail was lost on this audience!  Many thoughtful comments were shared as people describe their resonance with the Survivor Circus archetypes.

The participants in the workshop were playful and willing to explore themselves as well as hold space for others. It truly was a groundbreaking experience to facilitate the creation of new circus characters and guide them through the fog. Leila and I facilitated together for the first time seamlessly.

It has been a life changing experience for me to work together with everyone on this project. I believe more than ever in healing with the creative force, mind/body/spirit. "Pick up your mind and go!"
