Artistic Director, Albert & Friends Instant Circus, London's Premier Youth Circus.

Albert & Friends Instant Circus (A&FIC) exists to develop the creative potential of young people, irrespective of their socio-economic environment or physical ability through practical engagement with circus and theatre arts.

The Charity offers young people a wide diversity of experiences. An extensive training programme offers ground and aerial skills, music, movement, mime and drama. A&FIC has gained worldwide recognition for presenting highly skilled, innovative circus theatre performances.

A&FIC began in the parks of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in 1983. Although still reflecting its local West London environment and roots, its reputation and performance schedule now extend far beyond the boundaries of the local borough. London, New York, Paris, Rome, Frascati, Edinburgh, Beijing, Hamburg, Ljubljana, Maastricht and Adelaide have all applauded the skill, charm and daring of London’s Premier Youth Circus.
