'Airfish' Circus started out as a collective of aerial circus performers, privileged and happy to be based in Cornwall. An enthusiastic and positive mix of pro, semi-pro circus performers, and enthusiastic amateurs, all supportive and encouraging of each other, with a passion for circus.

Very naturally, and organically, and with a great sense of fun and excitement, we proceeded to develop, and improve our own performance skills as individual circus artists.  Equally naturally and with the same sense of fun, our skills became collaborative, interchangeable, and then cohesive, we became a family.  

Throughout 2017 Airfish Circus continued to evolve, and grow in a very positive sense.  We continued to work hard at bringing the joy of the Aerial Arts, and the Circus Arts in general, to the Truro, Falmouth, Penzance and Redruth areas, and to local/national  festivals and events.  We provide access to performance opportunities for students, and offer classes for kids and adults, as a collective, as freelancers, and with/ in support of Cirque Du Ciel Charity.  In ground based Circus Skills, and Aerial Skills covering Aerial Hoop, Static Trapeze, Silks, Aerial Chandelier, Aerial Cube, and Rope - (solo, duo).  

 

Forming the collective has also allowed Airfish Circus to develop, and sustain real, practical, constructive training, performance, and career enhancing opportunities for locally based physical performance artists.  Whether they are established pro's, or semi-pro's, or upcoming artists in the making. 

 

Airfish has also been able to support local performance venues, like the Acorn Theatre, Penzance, by generating both in and out of season, performance art events, shows, and workshops, for the public to access and enjoy.   In turn the Acorn has been incredibly supportive of Airfish Circus.  Together we work to increase access to the Circus Arts in Cornwall, and to  help keep the Circus Arts alive, available and relevant in Cornwall, in a contemporary context..

 

In turn we have found The Acorn Theatre to be completely behind our efforts to bring the positive benefits of Circus to the local community so a big 'THANK YOU' must go to them. . Thanks go too, to our amazing supporters, and colleagues that provide some wonderful events around Cornwall and the UK.

We have somehow grown, without any funding, (except what we have generated ourselves via performance, into an interesting animal, in a continual state of flux,  keeping the traditional circus arts alive, but in a variety of contemporary contexts, not just inside a big top.  

Now we have a new home, thanks to Cirque Du Ciel, and their amazing training and rehearsal space, the  'Circus 'Works', based in Devoran, between Falmouth and Truro.  A place to 'make' Circus that's purpose built for Cornwall.

 

With access to an ever widening variety of resources, knowledge and experience, Airfish has also evolved into a 'one stop shop' for most event / production needs, in relation to creating your own bespoke event completely, adding great stuff to an already existing one, or just for hiring that special performer or item, to make some kind of magic!
