Waltham resident Marci Diamond, the founder/director of Diamond Circus, was born into a gymnastics family. Marci was a competitive gymnast and studied theater, dance, education and injury prevention, while pursuing a B.A. and M.P.A. She has performed aerial arts and contortion/acrobatics in fairs, fundraising events, shows, clubs, and a national TV commercial, and was half of the duo trapeze act voted finalist in the national USA Today/NCL Epic Star contest. She has taught acrobatics, aerials and performance skills to all ages and incorporates her experience in violence prevention and youth development. Marci often performs with her daughter Marisa, an accomplished acrobat, trapeze artist, actor, and clown, who inspired Marci to return to acrobatics and performance. The Diamond Family Circus also incorporates additional experienced youth and/or professional circus performers.
