The CIRCAS residency is Capvara the Clown's artistic debut in the United States, hosted by our partner organization the Ark Project.
The CIRCAS residency will open on Friday February 8th with a circus variety show featuring acts by Capvara the Clown at 8 pm (sliding scale admission $5-10). On Saturday and Sunday from 2 – 4pm Jonatas Campelo will facilitate his Workshop, “Awakening your Clown”, an immersion into the art of the Clown through improvisation, self-reflexivity, ridiculous play, scenic movements, and classic Brazilian acts. Jonatas Campelo has administered this workshop at national circus conventions in Brazil, institutions of higher education and public schools for the past five years. The financial contribution for both days of participating in the workshop is $100, intended for anyone interested in learning more about the art of clowning and developing their craft.
The residency includes a photo exhibit of our CIRCAS show, a monthly show showcasing local and international artists at the House of Sustainable Arts (CAS - Casa de Artes Sustentáveis) in Salvador, Brazil with all pieces for sale.
This initiative is the first of many to build our program of international artistic residencies and bi-national exchange between Brazilian and U.S. based artists. The House of Sustainable Arts (CAS) was founded in 2017 to provide cultural programming to the local community of Bahian-based artists and to offer an immersive experience to international visitors interested in experiencing the cultural and historical depth of the city of Salvador. We have hosted artists from around the world and our mission is to provide the comfort, guidance and infrastructure to help artists experience the artistic richness of Salvador and contribute to the local community in the form of exhibits, classes, workshops and shows. In exchange, we are hoping to bring more Brazilian artists to showcase their work in the United States and are seeking individual artists, collectives and groups who are interested in participating in this initiative.
Capvara the Clown invites YOU to enjoy the comical world of the Brazilian Circus! Laughter guaranteed for all ages.
