The June 16 episode of Circus History Live! featured Omnium Circus founder and executive director, Lisa B. Lewis.
Lisa began her career as a graduate of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Brandeis University, and earned a Masters degree in Clown/Circus History from New York University. Before founding Omnium Circus, Lisa co-founded the Super Scientific Circus, and spent many years working with the Big Apple Circus in multiple capacities.
The mission of Omnium: A Bold New Circus is to include and welcome the beautiful mosaic of humans who make up our world, creating joy and entertainment for all no matter the body they inhabit, or the skin they are in.
