The Central School of Speech and Drama has a partnership with The Circus Space, Britain’s premier circus training centre, to offer the first British degree course in circus. The Circus Space is based in the centre of London in a former power station that has been redeveloped specifically for circus training. The course is an accelerated two-year vocational degree programme which aims to equip students to find employment with existing performing arts companies, or to form new companies of their own. You undertake an intensive training which is equivalent to a three-year degree but which is delivered over two years, each of 45 weeks. This mode of delivery is designed to ensure a sustained physical progression.This unique degree will appeal to those with some experience in circus, performance or dance, and to those who relish the opportunity to experiment, collaborate and create new work with other talented performers.The content of the degree aims to enable you to gain an understanding of, and experience in, the broad range of skills and concepts needed to create innovative and exciting contemporary circus. At the same time you achieve a high level of individual expertise and performing ability in a particular circus discipline such as trapeze, tightwire, juggling or clowning. Common to all students are practical classes in physical conditioning, theatre, circus and movement, leading to solo and ensemble performance projects. Alongside the physical skills development, there is a strong focus on artistic exploration and creativity, as well as on the historical, critical and business aspects of circus. A Contextual Studies programme provides a theoretical underpinning to the course.The course is based primarily at The Circus Space in Hoxton, London, N1, although there is collaboration with students of the BA (Hons) Theatre Practice Theatre Practice course, and access to the School's facilities, including the library and Student Union. For further Information on the Circus Space see www.thecircusspace.co.uk. ADMISSION is by audition and interview. Applicants should normally be aged between 18 and 25 on entry. Indicative requirements would be a BTEC National Diploma in Performing Arts, Circus, Dance or equivalent, or 5 GCSEs at grade C or above, including English, or 3 GCSEs and 2 A-level passes or equivalent. Candidates who are able to demonstrate their potential successfully to complete a degree programme will also be considered on the basis of previous experience. Applicants will also have to show clearly their vocational intent and potential for professional employment in the field of contemporary circus performance. A satisfactory medical fitness report signed by both a physiotherapist and a doctor is required.
