  Traveling Circus School Accepting Applications (UK)
Posted February 20, 2008


Note: Details posted as received.

The Academy of Circus Arts, Europe's only traveling circus school, is now accepting applications for its summer session.

Our Academy doesn't have a building! A circus tent is the classroom, rehearsal and performance area, and all students live and travel with this real travelling circus as it journeys around England from May until October, training and performing at festivals and galas.

Students start performing from the very first show of the season, alongside our teachers who are professional circus artistes. When the Academy moves each week, students learn how the tent is assembled, how to rig a trapeze or tight-wire, and how to make it safe. Students devise their own acts, improvise and experiment to learn presentation, and build a relationship with an audience.

You do not need to have any circus or performing skills to join the course. Since 1992 we have had successful graduates aged from 18 years upwards, now performing in circus and related arts throughout the world.

The summer session will run May 1 - October 4. To find out more and download an application, see zipposcircus.co.uk/aca/info.htm.

The Academy is supported by Zippos Circus.
