We create a large-scale show every year, as well as performing in a lot of local, regional, national and international events. We have developed our own unique circus aesthetic which fuses traditional circus skills with different performance disciplines, such as dance, physical theatre, puppetry and percussion. We have built a strong local and regional reputation for excellent performance, winning Limerick Arts Office’s Best Creative Performance at their Circus themed St Patrick’s Day Parade, 2018.
We plan to keep on creating new work and some of our upcoming projects include:
Elephant! is in production for 2020/21. Inspired by a piece of local history about the circus coming to town, this show involves 50 of our members in creation and performance. It uses large scale puppetry and a broad range of circus skills.
Originally planned as a live event we are currently re-imagining this piece as a film.
Supported by Arts Council Young Ensemble Scheme.
IF I RAN THE CIRCUS
inspired by Dr Seuss. This video documents the process and culmination of a 3 month performance project involving over 40 members of our Youth Circus Programme.
