A Circus Family Comes Home

Lauren Berlin

Trenton’s own Black Ice Circus Debuts Growing Pains at Cannonball.

Two dancers sit on a red floor in front of a black backdrop with their hair braided into updos with cornrows. They are topless with their bare backs facing the camera, wearing black leggings. They mirror each other, leaning toward one another with one hand outstretched, resting on the other’s shoulder. The other arm arcs overhead, also in the direction of the other.
