The National Centre for Circus Arts (formerly the Circus Space), is a professional circus school in the Hoxton area of London that offers the UK's only university degree programme in circus. It supports the professional development of circus performers and circus companies and runs youth and adult evening classes every week. It also runs the London Youth Circus. ==History== It was established in 1989 by Jonathan Graham with a number of other volunteers in a former timber yard in North Road, London (now the site of the Pleasance Theatre). From the outset it has provided support for professional performers through practice time, devising space, company support and putting on shows, including the Circus Space Cabaret, plus an adult evening programme and a youth programme. In 1994 it moved to the former Shoreditch Electricity Generating Station in Hoxton, starting a BTEC "National Diploma in Performing Arts (Circus)" in 1995 which ran to 1999. In 1998 it designed and delivered the tailor-made training programme for the 87 aerial artists who performed in the Millennium Show at the Millennium Dome. In 1999 it started to run a BA (Hons) two-year intensive course in "Theatre Practice - Contemporary Circus"〔Sebba, Anne (December 10, 1999). ("The high-flying graduates" ). ''The Times''.〕 in association with the Central School of Speech and Drama. The Circus Space was instrumental in the creation and development of The Generating Company.〔http://www.generatingcompany.co.uk/about-history.asp〕 In March 2014, Circus Space was renamed the National Centre for Circus Arts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Centre for Circus Arts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
