SOME SHOWS, EVENTS & PERFORMANCES WE'RE PROUD OF...

 

Circus Suburbia provides a variety of circus acts and shows to many different events. Please take a look through our past projects to get a better understanding of how we can help make your event, festival, gala or party exceptionally memorable. Click on pictures for information.

 

As a social enterprise, we provide luxury and bespoke entertainment to events, re-investing profits into our weekly youth circus, outreach projects and community events.

Circus Suburbia was commissioned in 2013 and 2014 to create site specific aerial shows for The Bentall Centre in Kingston, as part of a sponsorship package with the International Youth Arts Festival.

We provided daring, dramatic and stylised aerial shows based on silks performances each time, as silks had the highest impact in the large space, within the event budget.

 

Circus Suburbia was approached by the RHS Wisley Garden to take part in their very first two arts festivals in 2014 and 2015.

We rigged silks in the glasshouse and performed three ambient sets of aerial dance per day to delighted audiences in the beautiful setting next to a waterfall, and amongst the leaves and flowers of the greenhouse. Simple, stylish and stunning.

Circus Suburbia worked with KingstonFirst to turn the streets of Kingston into a Circus Winter Wonderland as the Christmas Lights were switched on in 2013.

 

We provided the best Christmas themed stilt walkers we know, high quality comedy acrobats and a playful mime clown.

 

 

Circus Suburbia helped to launch Canadian & Portland's £30 million development of the riverside area next to Kingston Bridge, into upmarket restaurants, a pop-up restaurant area and performance space.

 

We continue to supply the development with stilt walkers, jugglers, hula hoopers and other walkabout / wandering entertainers.

 

 

Theatrical events company, Petersham Road, and Circus Suburbia, created an immersive wedding reception entertainment experience. Guests were welcomed by stilt walkers wearing leaf cloaks, entertainmed by Fawn acrobats in the reception area, whilst riggers flew tree nymph aerialists up and down to interact with guests during the drinks reception.

​

​

Circus Suburbia collaborated with Aniela Zaba and Robin Hutchinson to provide high quality circus acts for a burlesque cabaret evening on a grand scale, at the Rose Theatre Kingston.

 

Acts of a high quality and cheeky nature wowed audiences at all three events, with acrobats who stripped mid-somersault, a comedy fox and hunter pole duo, and a singer with witty, sexy and empowering songs who surprised the guests with a silks performance that Pink could only dream of being a few of the wide variety of acts from Circus Suburbia artists.

Circus Suburbia regularly takes workshops, shows & entertainers to the Feltham Arts, in Feltham town centre.

 

In 2014 we created a bespoke circus show for a half term event, with Jon Udry compering and juggling, and our talented Youth Circus performing hula hoop and acrobatics.

 

 

 

In 2012, Creative Youth commissioned Circus Suburbia to create a site specific outdoor circus show, to test the possibilities of developing an area of Kingston into a pop-up performance space.

 

Katie Hardwick directed the youth circus in a show which used a loading area and multi-storey car park to stage a circus show on many levels. The space is now part of the Riverside Walk development and Circus Suburbia shall return with a show in July 2015.

 

 

 

Circus Suburbia provided aerial shows for the 2015 London Bierfest, an Octoberfest corporate event in Old Billingsgate.

 

Aerialists Katie and Leyla performed four aerial acts in bespoke Bavarian style costumes, to live band, The Voodoo Love Orchestra.

 

 

 

The developers at Riverside Walk, a collection of restaurants by Kingston Bridge, have invested hugely in the arts by installing an aerial rig in The Yard @ Riverside Walk.

 

We performed cabarets of aerial silks, trapeze and static cloudswing with a Wizard of Oz theme, aongside the Birdies film festival, as our first test in the new space. Read about our other Yard shows!

 

 

 

Circus Suburbia delivered drop-in circus skills workshops at the TryCycle charity event, hosted by Try Twickenham for StreetInvest.

​

The 2015 event won the british BIDs Proud Projects Award for Place Marketing.

Katie directed & produced our Youth Circus in a production of Persephone, at IYAF 2013, Rose Theatre Kingston.

The audience began their journey in the cafe, with dancers on the stairs, aerialists in the stairwell & ballet on the tables. As they enterted the auditorium they were dragged to the underworld.
