Circus Starr – The Circus With a Purpose

In 2012 Circus Starr celebrates its Silver Jubilee, marking 25 years of bringing circus to audiences throughout the UK who wouldn’t ordinarily get the opportunity to see a live circus show as well as raising much needed funds for local charities across the country.

Circus Starr Director Neville Wilson said “We are absolutely delighted to be celebrating our 25th year in operation; it is a fantastic time to reflect on all the life changing work we have done. I am very excited in this special year to bring such a varied and world class line up of entertainment guaranteed to bring laughter and smiles to our audiences. We are convinced this year will be a resounding success and we want to say a big thank you to everyone who makes our work possible.”

Get ready for surprises aplenty with Circus Starr’s incredible artistes who have travelled the globe entertaining with their world class acts. Featuring the ‘Red Dragon Chinese Acrobats’ with their incomparable array of acts including, the leaping, rolling somersaulting repertoire of their Hoop Divers to the lavish tradition of the Lion Dance, they also combine rhythm, gymnastics and dance to showcase a ‘quick as lightening’ take on skipping. Their talents continue when they dazzle at Plate Spinning, Hat Juggling and showing strength and agility in their revolutionary Rein Wheel. This is the first appearance of the Red Dragon Chinese Acrobats in the UK after extensive performances across the globe.
