Tour de Force runs away and joins the circus!

When No Fit State Circus were comissioned by a variety of different UK festivals to create a new touring show based around life in our parks and outdoor spaces, they knew just the person to call to join the madness….

No Fit State are by no means you average circus, they are Britain’s leading contemporary circus company with an award winning reputation:  http://www.nofitstate.org/

Having helped production manage their touring show Tabu, taking 40 perfomers and around 25 vehicles to various festivals in the UK and Europe, it seemed natural to ask Tour de Force to help with this new project.

This time the circus is coming out of the tent and into the park, a large outdoor circus rig, live band and various community groups, from unicyclists to brass bands will all come together for a week on fun in a park in Stockton as part of the Stockton International Riverside Festival:   http://www.sirf.co.uk/

Part playground, part bandstand the project will bring professional circus performers together with local community members to create a show for the culmination of the festival. Tour de Force are part of the production management team helping to make this happen.
