Young People's Participatory
Theatre Project
Swamp Circus Trust's Youth Circus Project is a new venture aiming to:
- establish 3 parallel and connected Youth Circus Groups in Rotherham, York and Nottingham.
- sustain the Youth Circus Groups for three years, providing high quality training and increasing participants’ opportunities for a career in the Arts.
- provide additional related taster sessions and summer schools, to help with engagement and reach more people.
- develop apprenticeships to engage young adults in the delivering of circus activities to young people in their community. Apprentices would support Swamp tutor’s in delivering the Youth Circus Groups, as well as volunteering with other Swamp activities.

Spaces are still available in Rotherham and York!
