Jennifer Paxton
Executive Director
After nearly a decade of experience on the road with her husband doing international circus, Jennifer returned home to bring the concept of social circus to Tulsa. With over thirty years of performance and production experience, her unique skill set and passion for the arts has fueled her work. She combined her BS in Psychology and her BA in Media Productions from Florida State University with her personal drive to improve the world around her to help bring meaningful, impactful, and joyful entertainment to this great city.

Anton Duval
Creative Director
Anton, a Tulsa native, spent the last 20 years honing his skills and earning the reputation as the world’s finest living flyer trapeze artist. Growing up in Oklahoma afforded him training as a pre-Olympic gymnast and a competitive high diver for his high school team. He had many years of dance training and musical theater opportunities. All of these skills aligned in the 1990’s when he began working for Club Med and training under Bob Christians.
After only a year of flying trapeze, he was throwing triple somersaults and began his career in international circus. His love for his children and longing for his hometown brought him back to Tulsa. His dedication to his community inspired him to start Calliope Youth Circus Foundation and Calliope Circus. He now spends his time on the ground, lifting others up and filling them with the wonder and joy of this incredible artform,
