Making Circus Work - opportunity to join the Meeting the Challenge Proposal
August 21, 2008 14:44
With the launch of the ACE outdoor strategy and emerging opportunities including 2012 Olympiad programs there are distinct benefits of establishing links between UK and other arts organisations. Given the connection between sport and art that circus offers and the fact that the opening ceremonies of most major sporting events tend to focus on spectacle and displays It is perhaps no coincidence that Circus is a priority ACE area in the run up to 2012. As a relatively new, but rapidly expanding artform, UK contemporary circus faces challenges limiting its growth and development. In particular to move forward it needs to develop skilled and experienced cultural leaders with an understanding of the sector. To maximise the opportunities for UK circus and the wider UK arts environment, the best way forward perhaps is to develop links and partnerships.
