The Gaslight Circus
Come one! Come all! Welcome to the announcement of the creation of GASLIGHT CIRCUS STUDIOS!

What is Gaslight Circus Studios, I hear you ask? Well that's the question, isn't it? That's why you're here! And I, your humbled ringmaster, your Master of Ceremonies, am here to answer such questions.

The idea of The Gaslight Circus was founded on Halloween 2008 by Philadelphia Dark Artist Jason Hyde, in other words...Me. After a year of tossing it around, trying to figure out exactly what the idea meant, a bit of revelation hit me as I figured out exactly what I wanted to do. I want to use art to tell stories, to entertain, to make you think. I wanted to create the mutant child of a ménage à trois twixt Burlesque Performance, Cirque du Soleil, and a circus Freak Show. Sounds confusing, doesn't it? It is. What I want to do is provide you with an explosion of creative thought through various forms of mixed media.

Performance art, magazines, visual art projects and galleries, music, movies, graphic novels, physical sculpture, a veritable sideshow of art and sensory experience across genres and mediums. I wanted to make something that would last. Something that would cross genres of art and culture. And that's exactly what I'll do.

Gaslight Circus Studios is to be a mixed media collaborative art group. We're starting small, but gaining members quickly. Want more info? Read on.

Who are we looking for? Artists. Models. Dancers. Make-Up Artists. Live Performers. Actors. Writers. Photographers. Musicians Costume and Wardrobe Designers. If you have a talent or a love for creation in some form, I want to hear from you if you want to be involved. There's going to be plenty of work and opportunity to showcase your abilities and your products.

What's involved? Be available. Be willing to contribute to the various group projects as you can. Be willing to actively promote yourself and your fellow GCS members in their various ventures. Be willing to be a part of a community that will act and run as a family. Everyone contributes, and everyone gains by it. By actively helping GCS and it's members, you will receive the same in return. Cross promote. Stay in contact. There are no contracts and nothing holding you to us. If you want to be a part of this, be a part of this. If you decide to leave, we will wish you well when you do.

For more information, please contact me directly.
