What we do
We teach circus skills and circus arts - lots of physical skills and performance skills. Led by professional experts in circus and theatre.
Arts Award
All young people attending the sessions will have the opportunity of working towards a nationally recognised qualification, the Arts Award. This qualification is not examined, but based on a portfolio of work which the young people can put together with support and guidance from our tutors. Further details can be found at www.artsaward.org.uk or talk to Jules via our contact details

Rotherham Youth Circus (RYC) started in 2008 as part of the YPPT (Young Person's Participatory Theatre) Project funded nationally by Arts Council England (2008-9)
Since that project funding ended Swamp has continued with the RYC and has had funding support from:
The Coalfields Regeneration Trust (2009-10)
Ideas Tap (to develop outdoor performance)
Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council (for Summer Schools).
Swamp has funded RYC directly throughout this time and continues to support RYC and represents RYC in national Youth Circus networks and forums.
RYC continues and is currently run by the "Friends of Rotherham Youth Circus".
Tutors have included: Tim Woolliscroft, Jules Howarth, Sue Fee, Alison McNeill, Sarah Platts, Cleo Cutcher and Dan Collins. Plus several specialist tutors on occasions.
RYC is in need of a sponsor or funder. If you want to become involved, support RYC or join in the sessions then please just contact us.
RYC is Youth Circus for Rotherham and is destined to grow and grow, to become one of the best Youth Circuses in the UK.
