Contact Us

Before you contact EmeraldCircus.com please note the following:

1) EmeraldCircus.com (Including EmeraldCircus:Live) is not an actual circus, we are not recruiting performers internationally and will not send a letter of invitation so you or your group can leave your country and requests for such a letter will be ignored. We do not have organisational powers over most of the events we attend, if you wish to work with or perform at an event on our schedule please contact that event directly. We recruit our team for each event from within our community and internal network of performers but if you are based in Ireland and think you can bring something to the EC:Live Experience please get in touch :)

2) EmeraldCricus.com is not an agency, and although we have access to more performers then the average agency we do not cover their insurance and any performer hired via use of the EmeraldCircus.com site is hired by you and your contract will be between you and the performer. It is the performers responsability to ensure they are insured properly and YOUR resposability to check this. We make recommendations based on skill and previous experience and will favour those with more experience in the area you wish to hire them for. EmeraldCircus.com can in some cases source and co-ordinate a group of performers for an event, there would be a charge for this service on top of the rates for each performer, this additional charge would be donated towards the running costs of the site and it's offline projects.

3) The average rate per performer per hour is between €200 and €300, the average price for the same performer and the same act through an agency can be anything up to double these prices. If someone has told you they'll do the same gig for €50ph - €100ph then they are very new to performing gigs and have very little experience and hiring them could be a very costly mistake. No professional will drop below €200ph except in rare circumstances. It is possible to find medium skilled performers for around €150ph these guys will have some experence and are usually building up their CV so they are generaly enthusiastic about each gig as they rely on word of mouth to get them new gigs, these are the absolute lowest price range of performer you should consider.
