History
Tucson Circus Arts was formed from a partnership between its parent non-profit Many Mouths One Stomach and professional performance troupe Flam Chen Pyrotechnic Theater. Flam Chen is a troupe that specialize in large scale spectacle performance through the medium of circus. TCA instructors are all professional performers for Flam Chen. MMOS organizes the All Soul's Procession each year and its mission is spreading festal culture to the community. TCA is a bridge between the community and MMOS mission. It allows community members to learn circus arts for personal interest and to participate in community performances such as the All Soul's Procession. Since we began we have been teaching year round circus classes, summer camps and school and community group workshops.
