Hi everyone,

Internships - The Circus Space

The Circus Space is devoted to enhancing, protecting and developing the circus artform via professional education, production and creation. Every year our five programmes involve thousands of people in the physical challenges and artistic pleasures of the circus arts.

Our diverse range of work includes the UK's only degree-level education in Circus Arts which is supported at either side by a structured training programme for under-18's and professional development opportunities for aspiring and established performers. Adults and young people can enjoy recreational classes as well as, a varied and growing series of performances. We also run highly regarded workshops, away days and team building events for the corporate community.

The Circus Space is now looking for committed students or recent graduates with an interest in the performing arts.

These are exciting opportunities to get involved in The Circus Space's work and learn more about what goes on behind the scenes in a busy central London arts organisation. Successful candidates will have a passion for the performing arts, a keen interest in circus performance and a commitment to their own personal development. They will be a creative thinker who is able to think on their feet and find solutions to administrative/ coordination challenges as they arise.
