Easing back in ... Spring 2026

We have taken a break from Circus Artspace activities since late September 2025. Over the past 6 months we’ve individually and collectively reflected on our workload, capacity, ambitions and what is possible now.

Our reflections brought up thoughts on the way we work. We are all volunteers and the labour this entails often doesn’t allow us time to reflect on our collective creative practice.

We realised that we were heavily involved in admin, responding to others needs and demands, and engaging with social media. As a result of our reflections, we’d like to do less of that.

We found we miss collaborating and want our reflections to guide us. We want to be more considered, discerning, do less, be slower in our approach and prioritise our time together to do the things that we feel matter.

We cannot be all things to all people.

Going forward we will be working within our capacity. This means still encouraging dialogue and entering into conversations with other creatives. Not reacting, but allowing more time to plan and reflect.

We are excited to be back working together on things that better align with our shared values, and with a greater focus on what nourishes us creatively. We are in the process of coming out of hibernation and will have more on the horizon soon.

Love,

Circus x
