Wise Fool's Teen Troupe provides a year-round opportunity for Santa Fe youth to explore their passion for circus, physical activity, performance and creativity in a collaborative, non-competitive environment. Teens not only take classes in the circus disciplines of their choice, but also create performances and lead hands-on activities for community events. Teen Troupe members often come to the program through our Circus Comes to Schools program and our Teen BUST camp, which both engage youth from underserved families and school districts. When asked about the impact Teen Troupe has on the youth's lives they say:
"It has helped me to be more confident in myself." "It's given me a place where I know I am accepted by my peers and to be creative without fear of judgement." "Circus provides a community in which I can trust as well as an incredible creative outlet" "It's so much fun! It really helps me stay sane!"
