Our mission is to take circus arts beyond the big top, contributing to a happier, healthier society. Reaching over 15,400 participants annually (including 75 regular participants), we are driven by core values of connection, quality and playfulness. You can find us popping up in local parks and community hubs with our Circus Bike, illuminating the evenings with our spell-binding fire and light performances, and encouraging young people to express themselves and build their confidence and skills through our regular projects. We teach easy to learn ground-based circus arts such as juggling, acrobatics, stilt-walking, hula hoop and balance skills, that don’t require expensive equipment and can be continued without us long after the initial spark. We also run artist development activities.
