A Hygge Holiday by Circus Juventas – Saint Paul, MN

A Hygge Holiday by Circus Juventas – Saint Paul, MN

Circus Juventas performs another holiday show, sure to stir up emotions of awe!

Circus Juventas puts their signature high-flying spin on the season in A Hygge Holiday, (pronounced hoo-gah), which will transport audiences to the beautiful and bewitching North Woods and leave them exhilarated by soaring acrobatics and dazzling artistry. This marks the fourth annual holiday presentation by the acclaimed youth circus, whose performances regularly sell out.

The 70-minute show, which runs without intermission, tells the story of a group of young people headed for a cozy weekend in the woods, who stumble into a holiday haven of mystery and magic. This production of A Hygge Holiday marks the first Circus Juventas production presented under the new leadership of Rachel Butler Norris and Rob Dawson. Butler Norris is the daughter of Circus Juventas co- founders Dan and Elizabeth “Betty” Butler. She literally grew up in the circus, progressing from child performer to coach. She steps into the role of artistic director, formerly held by her mother. Dawson gained his circus acumen with Cirque du Soleil as an aerialist and head coach. He will serve as the organization’s executive director, formerly held by Dan Butler. The Butlers stepped down from their leadership roles earlier this year but continue to support the organization from their hometown of Sarasota, Fla. During their 30-year tenure, the Butlers grew Circus Juventas from a small after school program to an internationally recognized circus arts program, training more than 2,000 young people in nouveau circus arts each year. Many graduates of the program have gone on to professional careers utilizing the circus skills they learned from the Butlers and their team of internationally renowned coaches.

Metro Transit 

Across the system, there are now 100 permanent pieces of public art and 20 temporary works, including wrapped bus shelters.

When graffiti appears on transit, employees remove it as soon as possible. At the same time, efforts to prevent costly and time-consuming damage from occurring in the first place are also expanding. In recent weeks, five bus shelters and three rail crossing houses were adorned with designs created by local artists.
History suggests putting art on these fixed objects will make them less of a target for graffiti and vandalism. The work can also brighten people’s days, as one artist experienced even before the paint was dry.
On her last day of painting, artist Jennifer Davis was thanked by a train operator passing by her near the Green Line’s Prospect Park Station. “It made my day,” Davis said.
Artist Taylor Berman painted crossing houses near the Blue Line’s 38th Street Station and south of U.S. Bank Stadium Station, where the Blue and Green lines split.

The artists who created designs recently installed on bus shelters include:

Martha Bird (Franklin Ave. and Chicago Ave.)
Alyssa Stormes (Bloomington Ave. S. and East Lake St.)
Briauna Williams (Regent Ave. N. and Brooklyn Blvd.)
Mandel Cameron (Lyndale Ave. and Lake St.)
Briauna Williams (Zane Ave. N. at 65th Ave. N.)
