Description:
Lavrak Circus are offering 4 commissions in partnership with Start Thurrock; a ‘Creative People and Places’ programme funded by Arts Council England. The commissions are for artists/ companies creating/ redeveloping 20 minute family-friendly, visual, accessible circus work that can be flexible to tour outdoors and in community spaces.
They are particularly interested in hearing from artists who consider themselves to be less represented in circus and outdoor arts e.g. global majority, D/deaf, disabled, neurodiverse, LGBTQIA+ artists, and artists from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Artists can create their work anywhere in England.
Artists/ companies can consider making their work accessible to an audience that resonates with them or that is suitable to the context of the place (Thurrock). If you are successful, they can offer 1 day of an access consultant’s time to support with this.
What is on offer?
-£2500 commission
-1 day of support with future programming
-1 day of fundraising mentoring
-1 day working with an access/ inclusion consultant, where relevant
-Professional sharing as part of Start Thurrock’s summer programme 2026
