From the mischievous minds of Full Out Formula comes their seminal creation, “I Think It Could Work” – a daring and playful leap into the unexpected. With bright colors, dazzling acrobatics, and unflinching trust, this Chicago-based contemporary circus collective invites you into a speculative world where your choices decide their destiny. It’s circus like you’ve never seen before—live, improvised, and unforgettable. ​ ​

FULL OUT FORMULA is a circus collective that makes people believe in the possibilities of their own world. It’s a sneaky but feral rebellion based in Chicago, IL, founded in 2023 by company members Sierra Rhoades Nicholls, Kevin Flanagan and Liam Bradley. Full Out Formula creates multidisciplinary circus which celebrates how our bodies are portals to endless discovery. The company is devoted to sharing their passion for mischievous collaboration.​ ​ ​
