No Fit State Circus come to town!

On Saturday 9th July Southampton was treated to some of the best contemporary circus in the country, when No Fit State performed their newly commissioned show Barricade.

The 6,000 strong crowd in Guildhall Square were wowed by a huge array of circus skills, special effects and tremendous original live music, all rounded off with amazing pyrotechnics!

In the week running up No Fit State offered free workshops exploring circus skills such as lifts, balances, trapeze and tightrope work - a brilliant way for those interested in the very physical aspects of performance to gain experience and knowledge from an internationally renowned company.

On the night The Nuffield Young People's Theatre Compnay warmed the audience up with some street theatre based on the themes of the show, while Maison Foo - coming to The Nuffield this autumn with 'Memoirs of a Biscuit Tin' - entertained and delighted people with their Mobile Library, collecting memories on film from members of the public.
