Choose from either a 60 or 90 minute interactive performance for seated participants to watch and be amazed, and then get to spin a plate and balance a feather themselves.

These sessions:
-
encourage social interaction
-
develop physical coordination and strength
-
are inclusive and engaging
-
can be adapted to smaller spaces if necessary
Schools
"I have been most impressed with the way you relate and impart and connect with the students. We have received lots of positive feedback and uplifting moments!" Don College
 Structured workshopsAlways tailored to the age and skill level of the group. |  Plate spinningIt's very challenging and that makes it very popular! |  TeamworkWe always include teamwork in a structured workshop, as well as working individually. |  Performance taskIf the group is working towards a performance, we will play lots of theatre sports games to make the process fun and engaging. |  Free timeWe always try to offer some free time for participants to express themselves however they wish to, with their preferred equipment. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Positive risk takingCircus offers a sliding scale of positive risk taking, for both individuals and groups to push themselves outside their comfort zone. |  TumblingPhysicality is inherent in every circus workshop, and a participant can experience any number of emotions from fear to exhilaration. |  Team work at its finest.Acro balance always starts with easy building blocks such as the cat and can quickly become very complex with bases, mids and flyers. |  Acro balanceThe feeling of success when a balance works is felt by all members of the team no matter what position they are in. |  Rola BolaParticipants always learn this skill with the help of a partner for safety, and usually end up mastering the skill fairly quickly. |
We offer a variety of circus experiences to schools, all of which are a fantastic way to engage and challenge students within a school setting, from Prep through to Grade 12. See our Past Projects page for more images.

EVIDENCE: CIRCUS WORKS
'Learning social circus: jumping through hoops to achieve success' is a paper which explores the outcomes of evaluations of two circus activities within the Burnie region. Both activities came from a collaboration between three non-government organisations and schools to engage vulnerable families in circus activities.
