GOT CIRCUS GEAR?

We are ordering new KT clothing! Leggings and yoga pants, t-shirts and shorts as well as more sizes of “circus” pants, tank tops and hoodies. Pre-order your KT clothes and get 10% off your order! Come into the office to get the pre-order form.

NEW MAKE-UP VOUCHER POLICY

We don’t want you to miss class, but if you are enrolled in a full session (16 weeks) of classes at KT you get to miss class two times for each class you are enrolled in and make-up your missed classes within the same session. You get one make-up per class if you do half the session. This is still our policy. But in an effort to keep better track of make-ups and cut down on paper, now instead of getting all of your make-up vouchers at the start of the session, you will need to come into the office to pick up your make-up voucher if you miss class and want to schedule your make-up. You must present a valid make-up voucher when you come to your make-up class. Make-up classes are for currently enrolled students only, must be used within the current session and are not transferable.

PERFORMANCE STUDIES PROGRAM
APPLICATIONS DUE APRIL 1

The first conservatory-style program for circus/theatre in the US, this 2-year intensive program offers professional quality training in theatrical circus performance to students with advanced level circus skills. Train with some of the top circus and theatre instructors in the world!

In the first year, a strong emphasis is placed on creation, innovation and experimentation, while also honing technique in movement and physical theatre, acting and improvisation, as well as individual and ensemble acrobatics and dance. Students in this program train a minimum of 20 hours per week, focusing on their main discipline (various aerial apparati, hand-balancing, contortion, object manipulation or clowning) and work to incorporate theatre, storytelling and expression into their skill work.

Second-year students focus on creating an individual act and an ensemble production. In addition to performance, students at this level learn all aspects of theatre from costumes and make-up to lighting, stage management, rigging and marketing. Students develop their personal portfolio and finish the program ready to embark on their careers as performers.

To apply you must:

PERFORMANCE STUDIES PROGRAM APPLICATIONS

The first conservatory style program for circus-theatre in the US, this 2-year intensive program offers students with advanced-level circus skills professional quality training in theatrical circus performance with some of the top circus and theatre instructors in the world!

In the first year, a strong emphasis is be placed on creation, innovation and experimentation while also honing technique in movement and physical theatre, acting and improvisation as well as individual and ensemble acrobatics and dance. Students in this program train a minimum of 20 hours per week, focusing on their main discipline (various aerial apparatus, hand-balancing, contortion, object manipulation or clowning) and work to incorporate theatre, storytelling and expression into their skill work.

Second year students focus on creating an individual act and an ensemble production. In addition to performance, students at this level learn all aspects of theatre from costumes and make-up to lighting, stage management, rigging and marketing. Students develop their personal portfolio and finish the program ready to embark on their careers as performers.

To apply you must:

  • be at least 18 years of age by September 2012 (no age limit)
  • have a strong foundation in acrobatics, dance or theatre
  • be at an advanced level in your focus discipline
  • submit an application
  • submit an audition video that best showcases your abilities in both skill and creative expression

Applications and videos must be received by April 1. Qualified applicants will be invited to audition in person (if possible).
