2018 is the 250th anniversary of circus, pioneered by Philip Astley in London in 1768. We're taking the opportunity to re-visit the question What Is Contemporary Circus? first posed in 2012 when The Space commissioned Crying Out Loud to create a series of short films, Circus Post, contextualising the development of circus over the past 40 years.
If you have an answer to the question, please let us know using the hashtag #whatiscircus. We'd love to update the What Is Contemporary Circus? film and include your answers. You can find our social media handles below.
You can find the playlist Circus Post on our UA-cam channel and it includes a longer version of What Is Circus? - with answers provided by some of the artists we work with!
