The event features circus acts from world-class performers based in Calgary, like sword swallowing, a contortionist, and – we shudder as we type this – there may even be nails going up noses, and more.

About the performers:

Lindsay Istace is an award-winning circus performer. Skilled in the arts of crystal ball juggling, extreme flexibility, and more, she has traveled the world to hone her craft. With grace, precision, excessive-high kicks and a dash of danger, Lindsay will delight you a world-class show that you won’t forget.

Schuyler Snowdon is a Canadian circus artist specializing in juggling and balance skills. When pushed to define his show he likes to call it an unusually highly skilled clown act. He performs with acrobatic ladder, rola bola, unicycle and juggles plates, knives and glasses. He began working as a circus performer doing street shows in 2008 and has since performed all over Western Canada by himself and with a number of groups.
