ABOUT

We are an independent ideas-lead award winning producing company based in Bristol, promoting and presenting new circus and unusual theatre. We are interested in performance that crosses art forms from theatre and visual art to circus and installation. 

As part of our core activity we run Ausform Micro-Festival, a platform for new and emerging performance work across the city of Bristol, VOLT Circus Artist Development Strand including VOLT Scratch Night and VOLT Circus LAB in partnership with Circomedia Portland Square.

We are interested in working with people who explore ideas and create high quality work in and around circus and unusual theatre arts. 

Ausform has a European focus and we constantly look for new collaborators, ideas and opportunities for ourselves, our art forms and our community.

Projects include:

• MICRO-FEST: Ausform Platform Showcase of new work
• VOLT Circus Scratch Night
• VOLT Circus LAB
• VOLT Award
• Circus City festival as partner and member of Bristol Circus Forum
• Artist Support
• VOLT Masterclasses (coming soon)
