Our Values
OUR MISSION IS
- To offer the highest quality arts engagement opportunities for a diverse range of local young people through training workshops, performances, outreach project, residencies and exchanges
- To provide fun, engaging contemporary circus activities for children and young people aged 8-25 years
- To provide a unique alternative to more traditional sporting and cultural activities which form the bulk of the offer in our rural setting
WE BELIEVE
That circus is a fun, supportive, non-competitive way to work with people, building skills and growing confidence.
It enables participants to engage with physical challenges and learn the value of practice and commitment as dexterity, resilience and fitness increase.
It creates a safe space to fail and learn.
It stimulates creativity and celebrates self-expression.
We firmly believe in the positive impact that circus can have on the mental, physical and creative wellbeing of children and young people.
We are committed to providing the highest quality experience possible for our members and audiences, both in terms of the quality of engagement and process, and the final artistic products.
OUR APPROACH
We foster respect for ourselves and each other; playful interaction, generosity, sharing and listening.
We nurture individuality, confidence and self-esteem.
We deliver young-person-centred practice that puts the voice of participants at the heart of all our work.
We champion inclusion, removing barriers to participation for those children and young people who are excluded or isolated because of their circumstances.
We ensure the highest standards in all our youth circus activities, our governance and management; and the highest quality of experience for members and audiences.
