3AM Theatre is a multidisciplinary performance company that explores the twilight hours, a place in time where perceptions shift and dreams blend with reality. The company blends contemporary circus, modern dance, and physical theatre with kinetic sculpture and innovative lighting design to create original works that encompass both visual art and live performance.

3AM Theatre has opened a studio in Long Island City, dedicated to offering performing artists from multiple disciplines the opportunity to experiment, explore their crafts, and connect with peers and audiences interested in fresh, innovative new work; and also to incubating and presenting works of circus, physical theater, modern dance, experimental music, and a cross-pollination of these art forms.

Kyle Driggs is a writer and performer who specializes in a unique fusion of juggling, object manipulation, movement, and theatrical persona. While he developed an early interest in circus arts, his career began ten years ago at the esteemed Ecole Nationale de Cirque de Montréal. Upon graduation, Kyle performed in an array of renowned circus shows, with a stint as a soloist in Cirque du Soleil's Broadway run of Paramour, and in the 2019-2020 season of The Big Apple Circus. Much of his newer work, however, concentrates on the avant-garde in an effort to explore the bounds of physical theatre and contemporary circus arts. With a focus on experimental stage setting, immersive narratives, and the physical orchestration of common objects, Kyle's work strives for the convergence of a modern aesthetic and high technical skill.www.kyledriggs.com
