This is a reminder that Jennifer Miller, founder and director of Circus Amok, an alternative queer circus, will present a program on April 5th entitled “Clowns, Queers, and Causing a Ruckus: Circus Amok on the Streets of New York.” During the program, Miller will provide background about the circus, its inspirations and historical legacies, show a 20-minute documentary called “Juggling Politics,” and do a solo performance (including fire eating). The event will take place in the Sullivan Lounge, 7-9 p.m. Refreshments will be served. The event is free and open to the public. The sponsors are Academic Affairs, the Diversity Committee, the Department of Sociology/Anthropology/Social Work, and the Susan B. Anthony Women’s Center.
