Every professor needs a reliable research assistant! Lucky for us Mick Holsbeke has stepped up to assist our dear Dr. Phalenopsis on his latest adventure!

As the Associate Producer of EnJoy Productions, Mick is no stranger to zany exploits. Mick is a world-renown clown with a ravenous appetite for the ridiculous. His unique perspective on clowning, exuberant physical acting, and circus expertise were developed at the prestigious École Nationale de Cirque de Montréal and, later, at the Hangar des Mines (with Michel Dallaire) in France.

An Important Message from our Executive Director

Hello SANCA Family,

A record-setting heat wave is on the way to Seattle. Temperatures on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday are expected to be in excess of 95 degrees and may hit triple digits. In the past 100 years, Seattle has recorded 100+ temperatures only three times, so this is truly a unique situation. The large open gym spaces at SANCA do not have air conditioning.

Here’s what you need to know regarding classes and camps at SANCA:

1. Camps will continue to operate Monday-Friday. Students will take more breaks, do less strenuous circus activities, and spend some time in the blue and green rooms where there is A/C. We also have students play in the sprinklers outside.
2. All other classes are cancelled for those two days.
3. Due to the nature of the environment in the Flying Trapeze Tent, and to protect our staff and students, SANCA is preemptively cancelling all Flying Trapeze classes on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Students will automatically receive a credit in their account for the canceled classes. Students may request a refund by contacting the SANCA Front Office.

It’s with a sense of bittersweetness that I announce my resignation as Development Director at SANCA. My seventeen-year tenure at SANCA as a coach, grant writer, and development director has been filled with amazing experiences, people, and opportunities that I will never forget. After all these years I’ve decided to pursue a new opportunity and I’ve accepted a position as the Grants Manager at the Henry Art Gallery.

I feel fortunate to have been a part of SANCA and to have had the opportunity to meet so many of you and share the experience of circus with you and your families. As inspirational, exciting, and fun as circus is as an art form and activity, it’s really the community of people that make it so special, and I want to thank you all for everything that you bring to the SANCA community; it’s been an honor knowing all of you.

Best Regards,

Jeff Deveaux

Hello SANCA Family,

As you may have heard, Governor Inslee issued an order that allows businesses to welcome vaccinated guests unmasked indoors. For now, SANCA will continue to require masks for everyone who enters our facilities – no exceptions.

The Governor’s order excludes schools, as students under the age of 12 cannot be vaccinated. As SANCA has a lot of students under the age of 12, we are following that part of the order. Masks will be required at SANCA until further notice.

Cheers,
John ‘JT’ Tannous
Executive Director
