Circus Regeneration
Through its community circus theatre projects our activities play a role in Socio-economic regeneration. Swamp Circus believes regeneration is not just about new buildings; it's about the individuals who make up the community.
We have developed circus theatre projects directly aimed at regeneration
consultation. We are aware that for regeneration to be effective
communities need to be involved and to take ownership in developments.
We are however also aware that conventional forms of regeneration
consultation have limited appeal to many, especially young people
who find them dull. Through circus and theatre we can create
more engaging consultation programmes.
"Social and community arts is about are not just about the regeneration
agenda, they are also about ordinary people developing their own creative
talents and expressing them."
