mash academy

circus for all. free for everyone.

WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED
Mash Academy is a brand new non profit, born from the powerhouse impact of CircusMASH. For 15years, we’ve brought the magic of circus to communities across Birmingham, now we’re turning up the volume.

THE FUTURE IS BIG, BRIGHT & CIRCUS SHAPED
The UK circus scene is bursting with potential, but without more training and opportunities, it can’t reach the heights it deserves. That’s where we come in. We’re building fearless connections between professionals and communities, championing unheard voices, and creating unstoppable opportunities.

We’re here to take circus further than anyone’s ever imagined.
