Diamond Family Circus

Diamond Family Circus is based in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, and was founded by professional performing & teaching artists Marci Diamond (MPA, SAG-AFTRA, AEA) and Marisa Diamond (BFA, MHSHP candidate, SAG-AFTRA, AEA). We have shared the magic of circus globally from New England to Nunavut and New Zealand, and provide community-building circus arts residencies, workshops, consultations and performances for all ages, abilities and backgrounds.

Diamond Family Circus performs and teaches via schools, universities, film and theater productions, libraries, public housing programs, festivals, dance studios, violence prevention programs, museums, senior centers, camps and special events. Our programs can be specifically designed to support curriculum frameworks and standards in SEL, STEM / STEAM, HSS, literacy, physical education, visual & performing arts, and other organizational goals.

Whether as solo artists, or as a troupe, we intentionally incorporate our extensive training and experience in education, circus arts therapy, social & adaptive circus, youth development, film & theater production, and public health & injury prevention in our work. We love sharing the creativity, communication, teamwork, and healing human connection found in performing, learning, teaching and choreographing circus & theater!

DFC prides itself on customizing engaging, safe, interactive, professional ground-based (juggling, theater, clown, comedy, acrobatics, hooping, feather balancing, hand balancing) and/or aerial (trapeze, aerial hoop, silks) circus arts entertainment and education for diverse audiences, from children and families to adult learners. Simple craft projects can be included so that participants can have equipment to take home and practice. For aerials, rigging can be arranged in many venues or our 18' freestanding aerial rig rental may be provided for an additional fee. 

We can arrange a day, week or month long residency, a one-woman or full cast show, a class period workshop, consultation and/or choreography for theatrical or film productions, etc. We can offer services in-person or via Zoom (teleconference).

Fees vary and are negotiable depending on specific services requested, number of performers and/or teaching artists, travel, funders' requirements, etc. We offer discounts for low-income communities and social justice focused projects.
