About the Artist

Soul Penny Circus, a collaborative concoction of aerial dance, clowning, and physical theatre, is proud to announce the launch of their fall tour featuring the acclaimed production "Dreams of a Clown." Rooted in a Greek tale of antiquity that every individual has a "Soul Penny" to offer and that people thrive in community, Soul Penny Circus is dedicated to creating magical experiences that are accessible to all.
"At the core of Soul Penny Circus lies a belief in the fundamental right of every individual to engage with and be enriched by the arts, " says Fae Champagne-Walls, Producer of Soul Penny Circus. "Our nonprofit organization is fiercely dedicated to giving back to the community through original, artistic productions and workshops that are accessible to everyone."

Through their donation-based, original productions, Soul Penny Circus encourages inclusivity and cultivates curiosity. Additionally, their school outreach programs aim to connect students to the diverse world of the arts. These carefully crafted workshops, spanning the Greater Denver area and beyond, ignite a spark within each participant, showing them that the arts are not a luxury reserved for the privileged few, but a birthright belonging to all.
