VOLT: Circus Scratch Night
(At Circomedia)
VOLT is Bristol’s long-running circus scratch night, welcoming emerging circus creators to the stage to share their works in progress. Watch, discover, and feed back!
Established in 2013 in partnership with Ausform, VOLT is now produced by Circomedia and takes place twice a year at our professional St Paul’s venue. We receive applications from artists at various stages in their careers, working across a range of disciplines and artistic formats, but all working on exciting new work. Five acts are chosen by a panel of industry professionals to present their work to a warm and welcoming audience, receive feedback on their pieces, and showcase their skills to the wider circus community.
VOLT is a unique opportunity for the audience to be part of the circus artist’s process: you’ll have the chance to take part in live discussions with the artists, and offer written feedback as well. You’ll also get to see a huge variety of circus-based work spanning the traditional and peculiar, the serious and comedic, solo pieces, duets, and ensembles, all packed into one evening!
Thank you to our VOLT Spring 2022 panellists:
Nicole A’Court-Stuart (Senior Creative Producer, Bristol Circus City)
Billy Alwen (Artistic Director, Cirque Bijou)
Nicolas Young (Chief Executive, Circomedia)
