Hawaii's Volcano Circus

Description

S.P.A.C.E. is the culmination of over 20 years of proactive community outreach programs, perfomances by Hawaii's Volcano Circus, and its flagship education program HICCUP Circus.

S.P.A.C.E. has existed since its opening in November 2007 to continue the work of Hawaii’s Volcano Circus building 'social capital’ in Puna.
It aims to provide a place where connections between people and groups are made, renewed and strengthened for the purpose of developing a united, flourishing community. This includes :

• Providing opportunities for individuals of all ages to develop and share their gifts and talents in a hands-on experiential and exploratory learning environment

• Encouraging a sense of pride in the local environment, improving access to positive and prominent cultural and recreational activities like the HICCUP Circus

• Creating opportunities to celebrate and delight in life together, forging real collaborations within the community, with all participants actively involved in developing, planning, and implementing programs and activities

• Modeling and promoting sustainable living research in the development of local community.
