The circus has always been more than our name.

It is a world of dynamic tension. Imagination and discipline. Rigour and whimsy. Individual and ensemble. Practice and performance.

Many disciplines. Many characters. Many flavours.

For us, the metaphor matters. A circus brings together individual mastery and collective endeavour; imagination made real through practice, then brought to life in performance.

Circus is a strategy practice, but our interests have always wandered near and far. To art and architecture. Drawing and movement. Puppetry and performance. Craft, colour and light. Science, cities and the public realm. Business innovation and ingenuity.

To performers, entrepreneurs, academics and business leaders whose mastery lifts our gaze, and whose optimism invites us to look at the world differently.

Because imagination needs feeding. A business rarely becomes more interesting by looking only at its own sector. The useful juxtaposition. An unexpected connection. A different discipline shifts perspective. Laughter shifts mood and mode.

This has taken many forms. As proof of our own parable, for many years Circus had a gallery — a curatorial conversation between culture and commerce. Our exploration continues with film making and writing, encounters and happenings.

In the Ring — ideas and conversations to explore and turn over.

Follow Spot — people, projects and perspectives that catch our attention.

Highwire — thoughts and experiments that take us a little further from the familiar.

Circus is a place to wander near and far.

To get lost as well as found.
