GravityWorks Circus officially opened in March 2023 after Maya Trujillo, circus troupe member of GravityWorks lead by founder and director Nisha Ferguson, moved to Yellow Springs, Ohio. With an extensive aerial teaching resume under her belt, she joined forces with local, award-winning actor Kayla Graham and together they brought GravityWorks to the USA.

AERIAL CIRCUS IS ABOUT COMMUNITY, NOT COMPETITION.

Through classes, workshops and ensemble performances, we build a safe and creative space for our students to put themselves out on a path to self discovery.

Performers on stage, wearing black outfits with floral designs, holding hands in a line, with aerial silks and a juggler in the background.

In the summer of 2024, Maya and Kayla put on their first big performance with GravityWorks Circus Ensemble members and debuted at the Foundry Theater at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Oh. Amongst smaller workshop showcases, they are looking forward to putting on more performances on this stage.

Sign up every Spring to get a chance to participate in one of our shows and join our Ensemble!
