The present paper introduces Teichmuller and moduli spaces for so-called taut contact circles. By constructing a developing map for taut contact circles, we show that these geometrically defined deformation spaces are equivalent to certain spaces of representations of the fundamental group in appropriate Lie groups. Furthermore, we relate these deformation spaces to `classical' Teichmuller theory of Riemann surfaces and orbifolds.49 pages, 2 figuresSymplectic GeometryComplex VariablesDifferential Geometry53D35 (Primary) 58D27, 32G15, 57S30 (Secondary)text
