Welcome to the Circus Futures Homepage.
Circus Futures 2006 took place on Tuesday 10th October and Wednesday 11th October.
Circus Futures was a unique two day event for people who wanted to play a role in the development of contemporary circus in the UK . The target audience included promoters from venues and festivals, practitioners, local authority art officers, agents and circus proprietors.
This event consisted of a conference and a series of showcases taking place side by side in Bristol. Circus Futures is about providing connection routes between policy makers, programmers and artists by stimulating the conversations taking place and providing extracts of performances that show the breadth of contemporary circus in the UK . It has been informed by discussions with key individuals working in and around the industry
The conference debated issues surrounding the creation and distribution of contemporary circus work in this country and beyond. Featuring key note speakers and panel discussions, there was also an opportunity for delegates to be directly involved in the debate.
The showcases featured leading contemporary circus artists, of a variety of scales. Performers taking part had been selected by a panel of experts who in turn created individual shows, allowing the artists to offer extracts of shows available for programming. This was backed up by Circus Futures brochure with details of all the companies taking part. Download a PDF file of the brochure by clicking here. To see photographs
