The Circus Between Worlds

Walker and Bromwich are a collaborative duo known for their large-scale participatory works that re-ignite utopian ideologies. The Circus Between Worlds brought together a maverick troupe of performers. Starting its life in the ruins of the iconic Greek Thompson Church, it appears out of the darkness as if an encampment has arrived in town.

This performance hovered somewhere between the first hints of a circus performed on village greens and the sentiment of death metal. This is a free-form learning environment, bringing together artists across the spectrum of their creative development - creating an open framework for expression.

Participating artists included David Sherry, Maria Fusco, Jedrzej Cichosz, Urara Tsuchiya, Francis Thorburn, Susan Mowatt, Richard Whitby, Soin Parkinson, Edwin Li, Graham Mack, Emma Finn, Frankie Burr, Hazel Powell, Mary hartley, Astrid Newman, Francesca Hawker, Stasis, students from Edinburgh College of Art, Glasgow School of Art, Newcastle University and Strathclyde University.

Supported by Edinburgh College of Art, The University of Edinburgh, Newcastle University and WAVEparticle. This project is hosted by WAVEparticle Open Spaces.
