Dragonfly Aerial & Circus Arts Studio was founded by 6 local aerial performers in 2010. They sought to bring elements of the circus to Knoxville & have been performing & teaching in the community ever since. The mission of the organization is to promote aerial & circus arts through education & community involvement. We are committed to improving the lives of those in the Knoxville community, without regard to finances, age, fitness level, race, class, gender orientation, or physical ability. We value diversity & work to create it in our student population & performers. We believe the circus arts have room for everyone.

Studies have shown circus arts can improve mind, body, & spirit. We create spaces where each student is celebrated for their uniqueness & can express their creativity. We share these benefits with adults & youth – under-served youth in particular – through our community-outreach programs, tuition scholarships, children's circus camps / classes, & our annual Circus Extravaganza. Additionally, as part of our mission, we sponsor the creation of new multidisciplinary opportunities & shows in the Knoxville community & beyond. Dragonfly brings circus performance to new heights for the benefit of the entire community.

Feel the heat of the courtroom in the sizzling American classic 'Inherit the Wind', an explosive drama inspired by the most important trial of the 20th Century, the Scopes Monkey Trial, on its 100th anniversary. As a media circus descends on a small Tennessee town, two of the nation’s most powerful lawyers go head-to-head in the ultimate battle of wits, wills, and the political and religious divide that could be ripped directly from today’s headlines. In a fresh production boldly reimagined for today, the fast-paced drama explores religion, intellectual freedom and the relationship between social norms and law.

Clarence Brown Theatre, 1714 Andy Holt Ave on the UT campus, Knoxville, TN 37996. For information/tickets: 865-974-5161, www.clarencebrowntheatre.com

States of Becoming examines the dynamic forces of relocation, resettling, and assimilation that shape the artistic practices of a group of contemporary artists of African descent working in the United States. The exhibition is inspired by curator Fitsum Shebeshe’s 2016 move from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to Baltimore, and subsequent firsthand experience with cultural assimilation. Organized by Independent Curators International.
