Liminal Planes
WHEN: Thu 12 – Sat 14 Feb 2026
WHERE: National Centre for Circus Arts
The National Centre for Circus Arts presents its BA3 students’ ensemble production, Liminal Planes. Embarking on an exciting new format this year, our final-year degree students have formed three companies to create three separate pieces of performance, based on the theme of Dreams.
Under the creative facilitation of Daisy Minto, each group has devised and directed its own performances, learning what it is to be part of a creative process, working collaboratively in a collective, and how to balance the needs of the individual against the needs of the group.
Celebrate our final year students as they immerse themselves in shaping their own interpretations of dreams. Prepare yourselves for the raw and visceral, the poetic and funny, the surreal and innovative.
