Wenatchee Youth Circus

When youth circus performers from Washington State were asked to perform at the Smithsonian Folk Life Festival, they flipped — LITERALLY! These kids got a chance to share their unique circus talents at an international exposition of living cultural heritage on the National Mall. Produced by fellows of the 2017 SRL Academy. Student producers/videographers/editors include: Axl Reitz Daguio of Maui High School in HI, Darius Jones of Granby High School in VA, Kimberly Castro-Rebolledo of Legacy Charter High School in SC, and Angeline Abrera of Jersey Village High School in TX. Mentor Support provided by Victor Fernandez of the PBS NewsHour, and Melissa Sherman of Hughes Stem High School in OH.
