Cirque Bijou worked with Jon Kellet and Susan Weathrall-King of Starlight Design in the creation of original circus and theatre to highlight key moments of the evening’s events.  Cirque Bijou created a multi talented team of artists, designers and directors, which enabled the Company to complement the set and stage design created by Starlight Design.  Rehearsals took place in Bristol and on-site, a purpose built marquee in the grounds of the headquarters of the Commonwealth, Marlborough House.

 

Cirque Bijou’s circus troupe played an integral part in a highly successful evening for the Production Company and charity. The 1,000 strong guest list of celebrity’s and financiers raised a record breaking £18.2 million on the night.

 

 

“Thank you so much for all your hard work prior and your fantastic performances on the night of ARK.  The attention to detail was perfect, and your enthusiasm and stamina formidable. We have had many comments about the 'superb' artistes who performed so beautifully during dinner, so thank you very much. Everyone was so professional and accommodating of the difficulties of the site and for this we are very grateful.  I hope it will not be too long before we all work together again.”
