Kirsty Bell

As a native of Edinburgh, Scotland, I grew up surrounded by culture, but I really discovered the world of circus when a friend invited me to an aerial silks class… from that moment on I was hooked! I have witnessed first-hand almost every aspect of circus, having experience as a performer, costume designer, critic and administrator. In recent years I have taken part in the Circus Voices scheme at the Edinburgh Festival, writing for the Circus Dairies, and have been in charge of the development of the Club PRO and Demain’s Volunteers projects at the Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain in Paris.
