SUPPORT FOR PROFESSIONAL CIRCUS ARTISTS
Yorkshire Circus backs the people who make circus happen — with somewhere to train, a community around them, and practical help with the working life of a freelance artist.
OPEN TRAINING
We run regular free open training sessions, where circus enthusiasts of all skill levels train together, learn from each other and share knowledge across disciplines.
It’s as social as it is useful — you get better, and you get to know the people you train with.
Ask us about artist support
Tell us what you’re working on and what you need — we’ll get back to you.
HOW DO WE HELP YOU?
Training is only half the job — there’s everything behind the scenes too.
Most circus performers are freelancers, and freelancing in the arts comes with its own challenges. We offer support with admin, risk assessments, and finding insurance providers who actually cover circus work.
The aim is simple: give professional artists and practitioners the tools and knowledge to find their way in the industry.
A COMMUNITY THAT BACKS ITS ARTISTS
Come and be part of a community that celebrates circus performers’ skill and invests in their development. We’d love to have you.
