Young artistes who don't live close enough to Circus Maniacs to attend weekly classes can also access a range of training and performance opportunities via our annual Summer Schools .
Promotion:
Casting Directors often contact us as their first point of call to source Young Circus Performers from the UK.
Both our Young Performers and Adult professionals are promoted via our associate organisation 'The Circus Maniacs Agency'.
If you are a talented young acrobat, dancer or circus performer planning on a Circus orientated performance career, we would like to hear from you.
Contact: agency@circusmaniacs.com
We are currently looking for funding to support a range of exciting projects aimed to expand upon what we currently offer to budding young circus performers in the UK.
We are also interested in hearing from any funders, sponsors or benefactors who believe in supporting UK talent.
