City Circ

Crying Out Loud has been proud to introduce City Circ in which London venues brought together the best and most original circus theatre to audiences, from April to August 2009.

From Highgate to Hammersmith, Barking to Barnet and Wimbledon to Waterloo, City Circ in 2009 presented shows for adults, children and anyone who thought they don't like circus. Our best home-grown companies performed alongside some of Europe's most inventive artists.

Circus is changing. No longer only in tents in muddy fields, today's circus is an ambitious one - bringing together extraordinary creativity by combining astounding skill with theatre, opera, digital technologies, live music and dance.

City Circ invites you to enjoy the amazing range of work in our theatres and make London a great capital for circus.

We are delighted to support this wonderful and eclectic season of British and international contemporary circus arts in a range of locations across London.

The development of circus artists and circus production continues to be a priority for Arts Council England. We hope that this programme will inspire, challenge and nurture even greater
activity for the future and that you will be able to see or experience something new, that your understanding of circus arts will be refreshed and that City Circ will enable you to visit parts
of London that may be unfamiliar to you.

Have a great summer.

Moira Sinclair, Executive Director
Arts Council, England, London
