Who am I and what is this all about?
My name is Chris Ehrenzeller, I have been a circus performer (as Kris Katchit) in the UK for the past 20 years, and also run a small entertainment agency providing a service which links organisations and businesses looking for circus based entertainment with the correct performers for their event. *
For many years, I have had a dream of setting up a school or similar to provide teaching in the circus arts to anyone with a wish to learn.  There are other circus schools in the country, but I wish to be able to provide these skills to children, adults, organisations and businesses from my local area.
Why have I decided that the time is right now?
Over the years, I've moved around the country, not spending more than a few years in any one place.  I now have 2 children (6 and nearly 8 years old) who attend an amazing school in Shipley, Derbyshire.  As a result, I am firmly committed to this area.  I am also approaching 60 years of age and in no hurry to move again.  Within a few hundred yards of my children's school, is a building for sale that lends itself perfectly to becoming a centre of the community, providing not only the circus skills I have to offer, but also studio space for a wide range of other arts and crafts.  Within the past year, I have identified a number of people who are all looking for space to follow their dreams as well. This building, Lakeside, can provide the means for all of this to develop.
