Aspiring to create original Circus Theatre in the UK and internationally using a unique blend of partner acrobatics and prop manipulation.
Hands Down Circus was founded by Carys Nicholls and Graham Milligan in 2018. They first crossed paths during an FDA in Contemporary Circus and Physical Theatre at Circomedia, Bristol – where they teamed up and began tackling the world of creating and performing together. This journey took them to London where they graduated with a BA Hons from the prestigious National Centre for Circus Arts and have since travelled around the UK and internationally developing their skills and creative potential.
This has seen collaborations and performances alongside exciting companies and large scale events such as The Roundhouse, Glastonbury Festival, Sent into Space, Sproai International Street Arts Festival, Applause Rural Touring and Edge Dance Company.
Hands Down Circus prides themselves in creating unique physical performances with a focus on high level acrobatics, object manipulation and physical theatre. All shows come with the same promise of charm and light-heartedness, perfect for indoors, outdoors, a bespoke evening event or your local family festival.Â
