Ballynafeigh in South Belfast is unusual in that it is a mixed area where Protestants and Catholics have lived alongside one another throughout all the years of the Troubles. It is also diverse in relation to social class, ethnicity, lifestyle and housing tenure, containing possibly the highest level of mixed family households in NI. This mixed character means that the area stands out from the usual 'us and them' of NI, pointing the way to a more pluralist future.
The determination to preserve Ballynafeigh’s mixed character and ensure its continual development, motivated people to set up BCDA, known locally as ‘the Community House’ in 1974 which has evolved as a multi purpose organisation, operating a community resource centre and acting as a catalyst for the creation and delivery of social actions to tackle disadvantage and address issues impacting on development and quality of life matters for both individuals and groups.

The Company Peer Education trainees develop a sense of their own cultural identities and those of other members of the course dealing with issues such as family, religion, school, sectarianism, prejudice, stereotyping.
They learn the skills needed to facilitate group workshops with their peers in relation to Augusto Boal’s “Theatre of the Oppressed” techniques. Using Forum and image theatre, they allow groups of young people to discuss and discover their cultural identities and to explore many sensitive issues which affected them and their communities.

Political theater cannot work miracles, says Augusto Boal, the Brazilian author of the radical classic The Theater of the Oppressed, but it can be used to change the law. Having been elected to the city council of Rio de Janeiro in 1992, Boal is turning techniques first devised to encourage audience participation into a way of making popular legislation.

The Belfast Community Circus was established in 1985 during a time when there was a desperate need for positive shared experiences for young people from different communities.
As in so many cases throughout the world, the lure of the circus has proved irresistible and the momentum gained has been so unstoppable that, twenty three years down the line Belfast Community Circus finds itself in the position of being one of the most prolific arts organisations in Northern Ireland.
The ability of circus to provide an equal platform for people regardless of where they come from has long been evident in traditional circus with its international artists.
