Wise Fool returns from American Youth Circus Fest!

We just returned from an incredible adventure bringing 8 Wise Fool teens, along with directors Ilana and Amy, to Trenton NJ to participate in the AYCO (American Youth Circus Organization) biannual youth circus festival. The festival was chock full of opportunities to connect with youth and coaches from all over the US who train, perform, and generally love circus! Wise Fool’s teen troupe members spent four days attending workshops, sharing skills and stories with new friends, and performing in the youth circus showcase! It was our first time bringing our youth to this nationwide event and we were so proud of them all for being great representatives of Wise Fool and New Mexico!! Thanks to the families, staff, youth and everyone who helped support this experience. We know it was a major positive life experience for our youth because we’ve already heard them making plans for the next AYCO festival in 2019!
