Director Mike Christie’s plan for the finale to Concrete Circus was to bring all of the athletes together at one location. One of my first tasks as Researcher on the programme was to start coming up with ideas and investigating the possibilities.
More than a TV series, Concrete Circus (UK) is a moving art. It catches the soul of every urban sport it showcases without being too flashy. It celebrates dexterity, precision, and artistry instead of staged performances and dramatics.
@kiell writes that the Concrete Circus finale was shot at The Barbican with a Canon DSLR—in one day. Given the erratic nature of the sports involved, one finds it amazing how every scene had been planned to the minute. There truly is no substitute for a team with vision and talent.
