Sniki Tiki & Clowns
“Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages … welcome to the circus!” As an adult, it can sometimes seem too few mysteries remain in life. We know all the “secrets” and “tricks” and what’s real and what’s fake, but I dare you to visit the circus and not feel at least a little bit of that childlike wonder return. Nathan’s mom purchased the family ringside seats to see Circus Sarasota in Nathan Benderson Park. We arrived a little early and parking was well-directed, so we had time to grab a pre-show drink from the bar. Inside the tent we grabbed our seats and the show began — and what a show! First, we were introduced to the U.S. Olympic Rowing Team hopefuls (the trials to select the team take place this weekend in Nathan Benderson Park), then the owners of The Circus Arts Conservatory. The CAC offers circus training to youth and adults as well as performances and shows. They also act to preserve circus arts. That afternoon we were treated to dazzling feats of human strength and balance, surprisingly hilarious improv from randomly selected audience members, and daring stunts that left both children and adults cheering when they were pulled off. At about 2.5 hours with an intermission, the show was the perfect length for all ages to sit through, and we were glad to have the experience.
