Pontypridd | Arts, Culture & Heritage
Citrus make outdoor arts and circus projects that embed citizenship, kindness, and creativity within the ethos of intergenerational collaboration.
Citrus’ vision is of a flourishing creative community rooted in the collaborative ethos of the travelling circus.
We use the travelling circus model as a template for the best kind of creative community life, where hard work and team endeavours are valued, creativity is part of everyday life, ‘ordinary’ people are the artists and looking after each other is central. Citrus’ mission is to reconnect our community, eroded over decades by loss of industry, uniting us in common social goals using hands-on, practical skills and ethos of circus and outdoor arts life. It’s to nurture citizenship and kindness in our neighbourhood by igniting creativity. It’s to connect our community to self, to each other and to the land through getting everyone outside and hosting spectacular shared experiences.
Responsibility; looking after the people we work with and our neighbours and community. We listen and ask questions. We aim to leave every space better than we found it. We care about the environment and always consider the impact of our work.
Determination: working hard and not giving up just because things get tough. We support our neighbours when there are floods or pandemics. We utilise every opportunity fro Hopkinstown Hall to be a valuable resource or a safe space for local people.
Flair; imbuing everything with a sense of artistry, showmanship, creativity and joy.
