Bassline Circus is London's touring tented New Skool circus.
We are a not-for-profit, new-skool British hip hop circus building
our second summer tour. Please check out our website:

Despite the fact that new licensing laws are introducing massive new costs for small circus' we are still going strong. The London Dates are at the bottom
of this mail.

OUR HISTORY

We have a fascinating history. We met around ten years ago while
living on the road around europe, convoys of creative young people,
travelling and putting on 'free parties / 'raves'. In 2001 we found an
abandoned circus big top in a squat in italy, and started using it for parties and shows.

As time passed new laws and regulations made it increasingly hard to lead this free lifestyle and our old tent failed to meet health and safety standards, so we bought a blinging new tent from the tradional French circus 'zavatta', and through parties and club nights raised the cash to bring it back to the UK last spring.

We quickly applied to the Arts Council for research and development money, were succesful and so continued putting together our show 'the road', which toured festivals and parks throughout the uk in summer 05.

We are now working on our next show 'Running Away' and are due to start the 2006 tour in Whittington Park, Holloway Rd 18th - 22nd may, then onwards to Victoria park in Tower Hamlets and Clissold park in Stoke
Newington, to name but a few.....

THE SHOW:

'Running Away' is a high energy circus show rammed with all the usual circus performers, swinging about the roof pulling 'wow factor' moves.
The difference is our tent has been invaded by urban artists.

A hip-hop circus show packed with breakdancers, illusions,
disappearing b-boys and video bombing. The ringmaster/rapper, “Unknown MC”, spits lyrics from the stage as aerialists fly through the air and acrobats flick flack to breakbeat tracks.

Inside the tent you will find giant, spinning technics decks and
graffiti landscapes capped with CCTV cameras watching you back.

Come and see the new faces of UK Circus. You won’t regret it!
