CirqueIT

CirqueIT is comprised of artists Linnéa Kirby and Christiana Rose. Kirby and Rose have been collaborating since 2013. Their works are often focused in the circus arts, but they have also worked together in film, dance, integrated technology, and graphic design. In 2014, they choreographed a partner acrobatic act and a triple trapeze act with movement artist Molly Barger for Up in Smoke. Since then, they have continued to choreograph together and perform frequently at Oberlin College and other cultural events in the greater Cleveland area. In 2015, they wrote and produced The First of Mays, a short silent film about two thieves who join the circus. In October 2015 at Warner Dance Center, they premiered append, a multimedia evening-length work which explored five approaches to dialogues between humans and technology through dance, circus arts, interactive sensor musical interfaces, and live music. Currently, Kirby and Rose are training their circus skills and brainstorming new collaborations.
