The Artspace Lifespace Project
The Circus helped to establish the Artspace Lifespace project in Bristol in 2005, taking on much of the core responsibilities to regenerate huge semi derelict buildings and then manage them as active creation spaces.
We have always believed in putting something back into the community we are part of, we encourage and facilitate the coming together of the creative community as a means of impacting a positive change on blighted and deteriorating areas and buildings.
The most dynamic element of the Invisible Circus lies within it’s ability to take any space and transform it into a living, breathing interactive experience.
The Circus was based at The Island creation station in Bristol City Centre from 2008 – 2011 and the project still houses artists and train ing spaces on the site.
Relief Support
The Circus have undertaken a number of relief projects and believe in the power of the individual to take action and effect the world around them. We have supported www.hiphiphi.com Tsunami relief in Thailand with fundraising shows in London and working on the ground in Phi Phi Island.
We also detoured after Burning Man 2005 to Houston Texas to do fundraising shows and workshops for refugees from Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.
We continue to support ongoing causes from saving Tasmania’s rainforests to Circus to Gaza and actively encourage the support of direct response projects working in challenging places and conditions.
