The Selling Circus Program
Selling Circus is a comprehensive online learning program for purpose-driven freelance circus professionals who want to build an impactful, profitable long-term circus career.
Starting and growing a pro circus career requires clarity, vision, and the ability to execute consistently on the right strategies. Without a roadmap or guidance, the process can be overwhelming.
Selling Circus can fast-track your growth and save you years of expensive trial and error. I’ve helped nearly 300 circus artists across 14 disciplines and 12 countries and territories.
I’d be honoured to help you too. 💕
Is Selling Circus Right For You?
Selling Circus is for determined and ambitious freelance circus professionals who are sick of spinning their wheels, agonizing over what to do next, or simply doubting their ability to market and sell their unique circus work.
Regardless of your discipline, thriving as a circus artist in today’s landscape of the entertainment industry means knowing how to build trust, create meaningful connections, and sell to people. Selling Circus is right for...
Professionally Trained Circus Artists
Selling Circus students are out there selling trapeze, juggling, contortion, foot juggling, aerial opera, Duo-Acrobatics, and everything in between. If you sell a circus skill or speciality act, Selling Circus can help.
Self-Trained Circus Arists
Whether you had many mentors in your circus training or joined the circus industry through another art form such as dance, skating, music or theatre, let Selling Circus take your unique skill set to the next level.
Speciality Acts
Take your speciality circus act such as magic, or sideshow to reach a broader market, create new connections, and stay relevant in a changing industry.
Selling Circus is intensive and challenging. There are no silver bullets, simple formulas, or guaranteed results.
Running a professional circus career requires enormous focus, courage, and tenacity. Most of all, it requires consistent action and a willingness to play the long game.
As the adage goes, give a woman a fish and feed her for a day. Teach her how to fish and feed her for a lifetime. That’s what my primary goal is to train you to think, behave, and make smart decisions like an entrepreneur — so you have skills that serve you for life.
Selling Circus is for doers and changemakers who want to use their skills and unique way of seeing the world to run a modern circus career that matters.

About Ulrike Storch
Founder of Selling Circus
I know what it takes to build a long-lasting & profitable circus career from nothing. I started my career right after graduating from circus school, under a pile of debt, with no connections and no safety net. I worked every single show for years to support myself as I grew from an under-the-radar foot juggler into a globally recognized, creatively impactful circus professional. Some called my dream of building a highly profitable circus career “delulu” or accused me of selling myself too much. After 15 profitable years and over half a million in revenue, I’ve proved the sceptics wrong ( except my dad, he still thinks I should get a "real" job ) There’s never been a better time to stand up for what you are here to do with your circus work and build a career that matters and inspires the world.
Selling Circus is led by Ulrike Storch, the creator of world-class circus acts, producer of sold-out shows, and founder who inspires thousands. Named by leading entertainment companies as a thought leader for the next generation of circus artists and one of the circus industry's fastest-growing educational companies, Ulrike is the business coach behind many of the artists you know and love, who are performing in over 25 countries and counting. Her mission is to help you realise your greatest circus career potential and use your art to make the world a better place.
