What do we learn in BYC…
Technical Skill Building
Everyone have a personal plan. We work with participants individually to set goals and develop strength, flexibility, technical skill and keep a healthy mind and body. We’re a CAT scheme partner of the National Centre for Circus Arts which puts talented young circus performers into funded training for 18+ hours a week. Auditions are held every year.
Creative & Critical Thinking
Members are encouraged to think outside of the box technically and creatively. They research and develop their personal acts and have opportunities for showcase and feedback. We create a collaborative environment for learning where everyone feels valued.
The Arts
Each year we go on outings to introduce young people to the thriving arts scene in the UK and the innovative shows that are being created. We develop with them an appreciation of arts and culture and bring that back to develop within our shows.
The Collective are young creatives that want to make change. We meet every Monday to discuss social issues and work on turning circus into projects that can help the world.
