On the warm and beautiful Sunday afternoon in Prospect Park last Sunday I attended the delightful antics of CIRCUS AMOK.
This was the last stop in a multi-park tour they did this summer. The Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Sunset Park and now Prospect Park.
Gathering together some of New York’s finest performers, Circus Amok is a real treat for audiences of all ages.
Founded and directed by the juggler, Professor (Pratt Institute) and former Coney Island USA Sideshow performer Jennifer Miller.
I captured some photographs and video of that day’s festivities. BUT if you really want to witness Circus Amok you have to see them LIVE!
I was there 15 minutes before the show and captured some backstage shots.
