BandBazi's inclusive Youth Circus Theatre evolved from the Above and Beyond project that ran from 2006-2007. It is an inclusive multicultural youth theatre supported by the Baring Foundation to develop work with asylum seekers and refugees but is open to all. The group have created several pieces of devised theatre for public performance, which have incorporated trapeze, bungee, rope, physical theatre, street dance and other elements.
Two sell-out shows have been performed at Brighton Pavilion Theatre: The Last Meeting (2006) and A Place For Us (2007). In July 2008 a Bungee Breakdance production was created for Kala Phool's Rising Styles Block Party hip-hop event on Brighton Seafront. In June 2009 BandBazi's Youth Circus Theatre performed at Pavilion Theatre as part of the cabaret event To Seek and To Enjoy that opened Refugee Week.
