Falling For Risk – MA Final Major Projects
Falling for Risk is an invitation to attend the Final Major Projects of Circomedia’s graduating Masters students.
The graduating class from our MA course in Directing Circus invites you to attend their final presentations, showcasing three pieces of exciting new work staged over two nights.
There will be work involving extreme physicality, text, the objectification of the subject and subjectification of the object and filmed work. There will be singing and somersaults, all are welcome.
This showcase is made up of 3 performance presentations. Find out more about each below:
Leap of Faith
Do you consider yourself someone who takes risks? What does risk mean to you? Leap Of Faith uses circus and stunt work to interrogate personal and cultural relationships to failure, falling and risk; supported by live vocals and sound to ground the audience in their bodies. Exploring embodied thrills from a place of safety. The show is trauma informed so please read the content warnings below.
Square Eyes
Square Eyes is a journey through the liminal realms of Trickster beings. Using music, movement and media projection, we discover how we can embody our own force for change. Join us at a Crossroads meeting of people who have something to share.
Dionysus
Dionysus is a story of the human need for connection, for otherness, for transcendence whilst we tread the fine line between ecstasy and madness.
Here in the theatre of Dionysus, circus retells the age-old story of worship through rave culture where God is A DJ, music is a gateway to other worlds and the body is a vessel. The primal mystery is itself mad – the matrix of the duality and the unity of disunity.
