Circus Workshop with The Dummies

Saturday 18 February 2023, 3:00 - 4:00pm

Circus is a fantastic way to develop skills, fitness and build confidence and character while having physical fun. This workshop puts emphasis on creative play and self-empowerment for participants to carry this imaginative embodied experience into their lives beyond the workshop. They will be guided through a warm up and skills circuit with balls, hoops and plates with trainers who are highly skilled, professional and passionate about their art.

Children must be accompanied by an adult - parents please don't be afraid to join in!

WHILE YOU WAIT FOR THE SHOW...

You will have a bit of time between the workshop and the show so why not take your kids down to the Jim Mcculloch Park and have a bounce on the pillow!

Or... grab an ice-cream and take the kids down to front beach to stretch their legs before the show!
