The 7 Fingers at Club Fugazi!
Club Fugazi is Back!
Known for redefining circus by stripping down the spectacle to its thrilling essence, The 7 Fingers collective has expanded from its own signature touring shows to creating theatrical experiences as diverse as the very artistic directors themselves – original productions, varying from intimate one-person shows to large-scale arena performances, Broadway musicals, and artistic collaborations with renowned international artist and companies.
I am excited to be joining as Creation Assistant.
“We are honored to have Club Fugazi be part of the re-entry of culture and gathering in San Francisco.”
– Gypsy Snider, The 7 Fingers Co-Founder

Co-created the show concept and shaped this one-ring circus show with a live orchestra for Bay Area families into a new circus production for the Smithsonian Folklife Festival on the National Mall in Washington D.C.

Let’s workshop online.
“I’m so grateful to have met Joel Baker! My background is in hoop, and I really wanted to combine it with comedy but have no acting experience and am quite shy. I tried a few clown classes but struggled to keep up with more experienced performers and most of the clown coaches I found didn’t have aerial knowledge. Joel does! He was able to really slow it down and walk me through technique. He has also helped me find my own voice and character while using the hoop.”
-Melanie Pflaster, aerial artist
