Join us for a Choose-Your-Own-Circus-Adventure in the City!
High Mowing School middle-schoolers showcase their circus skills as they wind their way through a day in the city in this year’s production of the Hilltop Circus. The seventh- and eighth-graders chose skills they wanted to learn and choreographed a corresponding act to make the magic of circus come alive.
The 2026 Hilltop Circus is a family-friendly event open to the public! Bring a donation to Wilton's Open Cupboard Food Pantry and get a free bag of popcorn! Suggested donation: $12 for adults, $6 for children.
⭐ What You’ll See at The Hilltop Circus ⭐
Developmental circus arts are built into High Mowing School’s movement curriculum. Our seventh- and eighth-graders are working on the following disciplines and learning additional underlying skills:
🎪 Tumbling, human pyramids, and acrobatics also help build trust in peers and teach individuals their responsibility to the whole.
🎪 Juggling allows students practice eye-hand coordination, concentration, and persistence.
🎪 Feats of balance on the unicycle, tightwire, rolling globe, balance board, and stilts give students opportunities to confront and overcome fear as well as to maintain composure in unstable situations.
🎪 Friendly clowns offer the performers and the audience the chance to explore human emotions: waves of confusion mixed with cleverness, frustration with joy.
🎪 Aerial acts on trapeze and aerial fabric help students build physical and mental strength and endurance.
Friday, February 27 at 10:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.
