Next Steps: Circus Development Agency

admin

The Circus Development Agency has been set up by a group of people with a professional involvement in circus.

Our central resource is our website which is packed with useful information for artists, programmers, producers and the public about a range of information from health and safety to where to find artists to book – www.circusarts.org.uk

We send out a monthly newsletter to our members with listings, jobs, news and opportunities.

We also run monthly surgeries with key arts professionals within the industry which are open to all.

Our aims are:

  • To raise the profile of circus as a cultural activity
  • To ensure that circus is a viable industry offering secure and worthwhile employment
  • To promote training and sharing of skills
  • To provide a forum between the different facets of the industry

    • Our advocacy work includes advising the media on their representation of circus, work at a European level as a member of the Circostrada Network and working with schemes such as Elemental in the UK.
