Performers from Circus Maine entertained shoppers Friday at Whole Foods in Portland.
Students at the circus training school on Thompson’s Point had to audition to make the performance troupe, which travels throughout New England.
The group of eight wandered throughout the store for two hours, providing “ambient performances” to celebrate Earth Day and raise awareness about the importance of pollinators.
“These kids are absolutely fearless about performing,” said Cory Tabino, artistic director for Circus Maine. The money Whole Foods paid the troupe was donated to the New England Center for Circus Arts for equipment and costumes.
