Community

In their words

  • It's rare to find a free and inclusive event like this, which highlights the generosity of the performers and community focus. I leave these events feeling energized, inspired, and just so grateful to be amongst folks that give back in a way that encourages others to live and play more freely.
    BethanyI watch in awe
  • Levity is a huge community force and creative hub in Seattle. It makes circus arts accessible and gives a platform for people that may not be able to otherwise witness, experience or perform circus arts.
    AiyannaI perform
  • As a traveling nurse, community is important. I stumbled upon a Levity show one evening and was astounded. The community is so deep and so loving.
    CaseyI watch in awe
  • This type of aerial stuff is hard for people to access or get into, and watching little kids get to come check it out for free just means more people doing more art. It's great!
    WillI watch in awe
  • The culture Levity continues to offer is an open and immersive expression of self within community. Performers, organizers, and attendees collectively emphasize a conscious 'safety first' approach.
    CynthiaI watch in awe
  • These events brought me deeper into the circus and pole community, and watching the fire performances inspired me even more so to support my local artists.
    KimI perform
  • It's a place to not only be inspired, but be encouraged in participating and thereby making community.

Our Vision

Create.Inspire.Empower.

Levity Arts is a Seattle-rooted production company making circus, burlesque, fire, and flow — built on the belief that performance should leave you lighter than it found you. We pay our artists well, treat our audiences as collaborators, and hold space for everyone to find a little lightness along the way.
