  	Detailed project description (200–400 words)	Depart is co-commissioned by LIFT, the National Centre for Circus Arts and Spitalfields Music, Hull
UK City of Culture 2017, LeftCoast and Brighton Festival.  

First performed at LIFT 2016, the production will tour to Hull, Brighton and Blackpool in May 2017.  Created by Australian circus company Circa working with a host of collaborating artists, the performance will take place over four nights in Hull's General Cemetery.  The audience is taken on a journey through the cemetery with light, sound and video projection installations, punctuated with performances from professional circus artists, young aspiring professional dancers, a community choir and community participant performers.  In the build up to the event, there will be a schedule of workshops and rehearsals with the community volunteer performers and community choir which will be led by professional artists.	
 	Event Synopsis (c3 sentences of headline info, replaced by official copy)	A spell-binding performance from internationally acclaimed circus artists, Circa, in a unique and
atmospheric location.  Led by Yaron Lifschitz with a creative team including the electronic musician Lapalux, this ethereal collaboration brings together acrobats, aerialists, choral singers and video artists for a heart-stopping performance.
Described as a meditation, Depart is a playground for the soulful, an art gallery without walls,
a circus in search of transcendence filled with moments of joyous beauty.
Depart is co-commissioned by LIFT, the National Centre for Circus Arts and Spitalfields Music, Hull
UK City of Culture 2017, LeftCoast and Brighton Festival. Supported by Arts Council England.

Hull 2017 will be more directly involved in engaging participants in the choir and as volunteer performers.
