    Situation

    Contemporary circus is an accessible art form, with wide appeal, but most of it takes place in large cities and festivals. There is a big gap between audiences in London, who have access to high quality work on their doorstep and many areas of the UK. Regional venues are keen to programme circus, but they are not confident as it can be technically challenging; and involve many artists. Also, they want tickets to be affordable so people can take a chance and see something different.

    Solution

    Circus Evolution works with ten regional venues in Barnsley, Coventry, Derby, Great Yarmouth, Hull, Huddersfield, Ipswich, Luton, Oxford, Poole. Each has a different level of experience working with contemporary circus. We will: 1) Enable them to understand, programme, and market circus work and help them curate more contemporary circus into their seasons. 2) Introduce new UK and international circus shows to UK audiences outside of London
