Cirque for Change

At Zero Ceiling, we empower youth to thrive. We give youth access to safe homes, jobs, access to the outdoors, and the support to sustain it all. We're a non-profit based in Whistler, BC, and since 1997 our purpose has been to lift up marginalized youth and give them access to the supports they deserve.

(No, really. It’s true. Look it up.) They also manage The Circus Sideshow Reptiles, a team of charming professional snake handlers with Caravan of Curiosities. Faye dwells on the funny, freaky margins of burlesque and isn’t afraid to clown around and get really weird, but make it glamorous.Let us introduce<a href="www.yukithejuggler.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Yuki The Juggle</a>r - uki is a Japanese Canadian professional juggler based in Vancouver, Canada.
