The New England Center for Circus Arts (NECCA) offers people of all ages and abilities a unique opportunity to experience the magical & captivating world of circus arts. Here, in a welcoming, safe environment, recreational and professional students alike can explore the charms and challenges of circus arts and gain a solid foundation of techniques and skills across a broad spectrum of traditional circus forms as well as "new circus," aerial dance and physical theater.
Why Circus?
The appeal of the circus arts ranges from the athletic and adventurous to the curious and creative. Classes in fixed trapeze, aerial fabric, flying trapeze, acrobatics, dance, Pilates, yoga, clowning, stilting, and juggling build strength & flexibility, poise and self-confidence and provide a wonderful outlet for imagination, creative expression-and fun. Some students go on to pursue their dreams of a career in the circus and performing arts; others take confidence in nimble healthy bodies and pursue other life dreams.
NECCA's Vision
The opportunities are endless for NECCA to become a vital resource for the local community and beyond. We will continue to expand our ability to offer the community outstanding professional circus performances, attract visiting guest artists and instructors from around the world, provide a high level of training for students who aspire to be professionals, and facilitate greater access and programming to area schools and youth organizations.
A Collaborative Arts Vision
NECCA is working closely with organizations and businesses in Brattleboro whose shared vision is a premiere arts campus offering state-of-the-art theatrical facilities, daily interactive opportunities, classes and demonstrations for students, staff and visitors, and public access to the arts. NECCA has plans to build a 5000 sq. ft. flying trapeze and circus arts training facility on a two-acre plot of this new Arts Campus currently owned by the New England Youth Theatre, which recently completed a 10,000 sq. ft. educational theater facility.
