Ethos
Incandescence is a highly innovative and exciting Circus Theatre Company from Cornwall, the most south westerly region in England. Out of this wild and beautiful environment, the strength and spirit of the Cornish people has developed and so has Incandescence, a company which creates powerful and dynamic contemporary circus performances.
Our aims:
- To create inclusive circus/theatre entertainment that cuts across the boundaries of age and culture and connects with diverse audiences through the power of live performance
- to work with and mix diverse art forms, making them accessible to all people
- to work within culturally diverse environments enabling us to explore and celebrate our differences.
- to reflect the diversity of our world by integrating different cultural art forms and artists to create opportunities to perform together and create a unique synthesis of creative styles.
“When we create or appreciate art, we set free the spirit trapped within. Those who see art are moved by its passion and strength, its intensity and beauty. Political and economic developments may seem to dominate the news, but culture and education are the forces that actually shape an age, since they transform the human heart”
