After 10 summers, Upper Valley Circus Collective (UVCC) will be moving into a permanent space in Lebanon this October.

“A Day at the Beach” was the 2025 UVCC Performance Camp production.

The organization is working to get funding for some of the rigging equipment and start up mats, pads, and safety gear. UVCC is also looking to fundraise and utilize grants for the full $50,000 in start-up costs.

Ruby a long-time student, loves performing in all the aerial arts.

Stay tuned for a video describing the new space, renovations, and rigging that needs to be purchased. UVCC will also have a new tag line: “Building a supportive community through art, education and acceptance.”

Director Meg Tenney is currently collecting testimonials from coaches, campers, and parents about why circus arts are so special. “We would love to hear specifically what you love about the art form, community and UVCC specifically,” she wrote in a recent UVCC newsletter. “It can be short and sweet (between 20-40 seconds) and doesn’t need to be professional. A quick simple video taken with your phone in a quiet space will do and we will even take a voice memo.” Please send submissions to Meg@uvcircus.com.

Balance skills such as rola bola are one of many skills all participants can learn at UVCC.
