• Circomedia: Look Back and Beyond

    Circomedia, Look Back and Beyond

    Celebrating the 25 year anniversary of Fool Time, the Bristol circus school that went on to become Circomedia, Look Back and Beyond is a four-day mini-fest of shows and events to celebrate the school's illustrious history. On 31 March there's a double-bill of works by Circomedia graduates: Green Eyed Zero's new piece Folie à Deux (seen last year as a work-in-progress at Jacksons Lane), and a turn from Fullstop Acrobatic Theatre; 2 April there's an all-day Open Space event, ‘What are we doing about circus in the UK?’, to debate the challenges and future of contemporary circus; the evening of 2 April there's a student and graduate cabaret; and then on 3 April there are drop-in taster classes in St Paul's Park, a series of talks and presentations from Bristol and near-Bristol practitioners including Ali Williams (NoFit State) and Doug Francis (Invisible Circus), and a launch for Flying High: New Circus in Bristol, a new collection of photographs by Monica Connell.
