This video was made in 1990, when a group of circus artists found the semi-derelict Shoreditch Electric Light Station in scruffy, rubble strewn Hoxton.
Extensive restoration and reconstruction converted the building into what is now one of Europe’s leading circus training facilities. Circus Space runs the only Circus Arts BA Hons Degree in the UK alongside extensive recreational and progressive programmes whilst Hoxton has become an upmarket area full of boutiques, cafes and art galleries.
