Brave Space is an impulsive congregation in the tiniest of tents.

Starting as a puddle of fabric on the floor, it grows to encompass a world of wondrous circus. Intimate and low tech, we invite the audience to sit nose-to-nose with an all-female cast to build the world we want to live in, even for only a few shared moments.

Inspired by the idea of creating community in divisive times, and designed to be able to pop-up almost anywhere. Brave Space requires 100% trust between performers and audience as together we physically construct the show and keep the artists aloft.
