Text: "CASTING CALL: CHILD PERFORMERS" over a photo: On a white infiity wall stage, a young boy stands on a man's bent leg. They are leaning away from each other, clasping wrists to balance. They are wearing matching blue shorts and tank tops. Upstage a girl sits, watching. To the right is a wall of stage lights.

On a white infinity wall stage, a boy is upside down in mid-air in front of a man who is flipping him around. The man's head is hidden by the boy's body. They are wearing matching blue shorts and tank tops.

We're casting! We'relooking for a child performer (aged 7-10) for GUTS, a new intergenerational circus show by SUPERFAN. We'll be developing it later this year and bringing it to production in 2027/28. Details: superfanperformance.co.uk/guts-casting... Deadline 15th Feb! 📷: Brian Hartley

A boy holds a man as he bends backwards, the man is parallel to to floor and his arms are hanging down to touch the floor.

A man and boy sit back to back on the floor, the boys kneeds are pulled up to his chin and the man is leaning back onto him.

JD, a white man, is holding on to Hector's leg. Hector, a white boy, is dangling down JD's back, with his head at JD's hip. They are both laughing.

A boy lies shirtless across a man's back. The man is crouching down on all fours, the boy is lying limply and looking into the camera with a blank expression.

Snapshots of Summer when we headed over to Marsellie to start working on Guts, a new intergenerational circus duet. Thanks to JD &Hector for trying out so many early ideas, and Nikki for her Circus Consultancy, in the middle of a heat wave! We're looking forward to revisiting Guts in Scotland 2026.

Three people stand in a row looking forward. A man with his hood up and a black ghillie suit on, a man with a sparkly gold bird costume with a tall bird neck and head on his head, and woman in a yellow jacket holding a pair of binoculars with lights shining out.

A person stands in a black ghillie suit, they are crouching down and look a bit like a monster, with glowing circles for eyes.

three people stand in a line, each are are looking through a pair of binoculars with lights shining out of them.

This year we began developing Ornithigonia, a new show inspired by the magic of birds, folk-horror & hope at the end of the world.
