How it Works
Typically, after a warm up & safety brief participants are subdividing into groups. Each
group is introduced to a new circus skill before moving on to look at the next discipline. e.g.
Acrobatic-balancing
To build a human pyramid participants are encouraged to use trust and inspire each other to work as a team to achieve a common goal.
Juggling & or Spinning Plates
In learning to juggle participants become intensely focused, develop co ordination and are reminded of the often forgotten maxim of breaking down a new goal into smaller manageable steps – a simple matter of practice and building up in stages.
Tightrope Walking
Requiring balance, focus and rhythm – participants need each other’s help at first, before gradually learning to get across the wire unsupported.
Stilt walking
Just like walking for the first time there is a small risk & initially no one can walk without the support of their colleagues. But with their help basic walking can be mastered fairly quickly.
Hula Hoop
This ingeniously simple activity captures the rhythm of our playful nature and gets everyone joining in the groove as they start swinging their hips. We’ll help beginner & experienced hoopers alike work up some striking moves and maybe even perform your very own synchronized Hula Hoopla.
Upon successful completion of the skills, teams work on their grand performance. Individuals can choose the act of their choice to ensure maximum impact as they put the team act together.
You can even perform in our big circus tent with catering for extra memorable finale!
