Gorilla Circus was born in 2009 from the vision of a former flying trapeze artist on a mission to innovate, improve, and create new varieties of spectaculars that tell important stories of real world issues, with unique structures to set the magic onto.
Over a decade later and here we are! A circus production company, Arts Council NPO, and world-class flying trapeze school run by a passionate micro-team who work hard to deliver beautiful, thought-provoking, contemporary circus shows for all ages.
We believe in the transformative power of circus.
Our mission is to create high-quality contemporary circus shows and training centers that:
We ensure that all our work is guided by the following Core Values:
Quality – We strive to maintain the highest level of skill and quality across every one of our projects and schools.
Respect – We begin our working relationships from a position of trust, balanced by Humility, Generosity, and Accountability to deliver to a high standard.
Commitment – Our work must contribute to the progress of our mission, values, and purpose, and offer sustainable opportunities for people to engage with us and our art. We do not tick boxes or engage in tokenism.
Circus – Whatever the creative output, the ethos is always Circus, which at Gorilla Circus means: A wholesome anarchy and passionate community that is greater than the sum of its parts.
