Story
Greentop Community Circus Centre is a registered charity that has been delivering circus across the Sheffield region for almost 25 year. We particularly engage young people, those with learning needs and from our local Brightside neighbourhood, to develop their circus skills from trapeze to tightwire and how to perform them.
We believe that circus can really help young people explore risk, self expression and learning from failing, making them significantly more ready to seize their life chances.
Over 2018 Greentop reached over 22000 beneficiaries through over 800 events and workshops. Greentop services range from:
- Opportunity to join in Youth Circus, (including Circus Minis), adult evening courses and classes and specialist weekend workshops
- Artist development through practice, creative development and performance opportunity and access to specialist training facilities including the only fixed swinging trapeze in the north of England
- Outreach and circus projects in settings ranging from team building, education to supporting engagement for people with particular learning needs.
- We host performances, including cabaret events and premieres of new work .
