Circomedia

Circomedia

Circomedia is a school for contemporary circus and physical theatre based in Bristol, England.[1] The school offers a variety of training courses and workshops that teach circus skills in the context of physical theatre, performance and creativity.

It was founded in 1993 by Bim Mason and Helen Crocker, rising out of the ashes of Fooltime, Britain’s first circus school. It is financially supported by Arts Council South West[2] and a range of other funding.

At the core of the school's training programme is the one-year Diploma in Circus Skills and Physical Theatre,[3] which includes trapeze, juggling, acrobatics and physical theatre. After completing the diploma, students may join the 10-week Act Creation Course, or may undertake teacher training.

Other training programmes include:

  • a Foundation Degree (FdA) in Contemporary Circus and Physical Performance in partnership with Bath Spa University
  • a BTEC National Diploma in Performance for 16-18 year olds
  • adult evening classes open to the general public
  • circus workshops and team-building events

Circomedia also runs an outreach programme for local young people out of its site at St. Paul's Church in St Pauls, Bristol.
