BRATTLEBORO — On Saturday, April 21, at 7:30 p.m., there will be a local screening of the circus documentary “Being Nimble” at the New England Center for Circus Arts main studio at 74 Cotton Mill Hill.
This one-hour documentary by Brattleboro resident Bill Forchion follows a group of students from the New England Center for Circus Arts as they participate in a nine-month program to become professional circus performers.
Forchion has won several awards for his filmwork, and his extensive background as an actor, stuntman, and circus performer are evident as the film focuses on the heart of what it takes to become a professional athlete and artist.
The film draws the viewer into the physical and emotional challenges facing each of the aspiring acrobats during their nine-month voyage towards their ultimate goal to be circus performers. To accomplish their goals it will take more than big dreams and strong wills - it will take “Being Nimble.”
Admission is by donation, and the film will be followed by a question-and-answer session. For more information, visit www.necenterforcircusarts.org or call 802-254-9780.
