OMNIUM-A Bold New Circus

Omnium: A Bold New Circus: a singularly inclusive non profit Circus that is multi-abled and representative, highlighting and celebrating that disability and diversity shine through the joy and excitement of Circus arts. Built on a tripod of Entertainment, Employment and Education, Omnium Circus is fully inclusive on stage, behind the scenes and in our audience. www.OmniumCircus.org

With 25% of the world living with a disability—and 90% of us likely to face one at some point—everyone deserves access to wonder and joy, yet families with disabilities are too often overlooked. Welcome to Omnium Circus, where the magic of circus meets the power of inclusion. Here, everyone is part of the action in a spirited, limit-defying, life-affirming spectacle featuring award-winning artistry, memorable music, and a heartwarming story. We proudly provide access for audiences of all ages and abilities. Join us in building a more welcoming world—where everyone belongs.
