Circus Futures 2011 skillfully combined a Conference with three Showcases offering extracts of contemporary circus shows.

Circus Futures 2011 was for national and international delegates and aimed to provide connection routes between policy makers, programmers and artists by stimulating conversations between them and showcasing performances, which represent the breadth of contemporary circus in the UK and ROI. It was informed by discussions with key individuals working in and around the industry.

The conference provided a platform for debate, focusing on issues surrounding the creation and distribution of contemporary circus work in this country and beyond. This was delivered in a format offering key note speakers, panel discussions, and break-out groups so delegates could be directly involved in the debate.

The conference offered practical examples from national and international venues, festivals, artists and funders. This dovetailed with the three Showcase performances that each featured performance extracts of contemporary circus performances from UK and ROI companies whose work is available to tour in 2012. Delegates travelled around Bristol in buses to catch every part of the event.

This was backed up by the Circus Futures 2011 brochure with details of all the companies taking part. Click here to download the Circus Futures 2011 brochure.
