Meet Adam: A Life in Circus, and a New Chapter in Galway

From Philadelphia to Galway, Adam has spent 25 years exploring the many possibilities of circus; as a performer, coach and advocate. Now, as Galway Community Circus’s new Programmes Director, he’s bringing that experience to our community.

For Adam, circus arts have been much more than a career. It has been a way of life.

“I’ve been in circus arts my entire adult life,” he says. “First as a performer, then as a coach, and now as an administrator.”
