About Us

Founded in 2005, we are a Singapore-based social circus collective, committed to cultivating a sustainable and thriving circus community. Over nearly two decades, the collective has made a significant impact through 11 circus festivals, more than 100 outreach initiatives, and over 200 workshops spanning technical training and creative development, nurturing both emerging talents and seasoned practitioners. By fostering collaborations with local and international artists and organisations, Bornfire facilitates cross-disciplinary exchanges—ranging from artistic performances to in-depth discussions and cultural dialogues. Rooted in principles of social and cultural sustainability, the collective empowers individuals, connects diverse communities, and advocates for ethical, inclusive practices in the arts. Through its dedication to education, collaboration, and artistic innovation, Bornfire champions for circus arts remain a vibrant, evolving, and meaningful medium—not just in Singapore, but as part of a global movement redefining the role of circus in contemporary society.
