World class aerial and acrobatic skills are not enough for our international team of circus artists. Now they want to invent new Olympic games and challenge themselves with new world records.

In Parklife Pod they seek inspiration from the general public through a daily programme of taster workshops, guerrilla happenings and high skill performances. Families, individuals, local arts and sports groups and aspiring circus performers are invited to join our training, show off their talents, learn new circus skills, give some top tips or just sit back and enjoy as the spectacle unfolds.InfusedwithNofitState’ssignatureexuberance,energyandtheatricalchaos and accompanied by our unique circus band, this mini residency will be a weekend to remember.

NoFit StateNoFitStatewasfoundedin1986byfivefriends.Duringapoliticallychargedtime, in a recession, and as a creative reaction to the world around them, the circus was born.

Twenty-fiveyearslaterNoFitStatestillbelievesthatthetotaloutweighsthesum of the parts. The company lives together, works together, eats together, laughs and cries together – travelling in trucks, trailers and caravans and loving and breathing as one community. This is what creates the spirit that is NoFit State and gives the work its heart and soul.

Contemporarycircuscombineslivemusic,dance,stagedesign,text,andfilmwith traditional circus skills. It is rooted in the travelling community who turn up,pitchatent,drumupanaudience,andthenleavewithonlyflattenedgrassand a memory to show they were ever there. The circus are the strangers who live amongst us – and if we run away to join them we are throwing off our inhibitions, our conventions, the rules of settled society. We are taking to the road knowing that there is no destination - only a journey.

Today,NoFitStateistheUK’sleadinglarge-scalecontemporarycircuscompany, producing professional touring productions and a wide variety of community, training, and education projects for people of all ages.

Their professional tented touring shows have visited 15 different countries, played to audiences of over 250,000 and have won numerous prestigious internationalartsawardsincluding,for‘Immortal’,BestShowofTarregaFestival2006and,for‘Tabù’,TotalTheatreAwardatEdinburghInternationalFestival 2010.
