About
-
Company-ish is a new post-contemporary circus. We are the associate company of NoFit State Circus and are supported by the National Centre for Circus Arts. We were born out of a desire to see circus connect with a new audience, whilst remaining embedded in the tradition of tented touring.
Our aim is to make ordinary people feel extraordinary, finding the pleasure and humanity within circus and allowing our audience to be a part of that energy. Our work is fresh, bold and beautiful. Challenging the preconceptions of what circus is, and proving what circus can be.
POST CONTEMPORARY?
We describe our work as post-contemporary because of our artistic stance. We don't believe in sticking to the traditional, classical circus format. Nor do we prescribe to the contemporary circus model of playing to theatre audiences and trying to adapt our art to fit another’s mould.
We are circus, proud of what we do and who we are. our work is unashamedly skilful, and also deeply imbedded in the exploration of the human condition. questioning everything whilst realising that there are no real answers. Our circus is made to inspire the audience to laugh heartily, feel more and think differently.
