Adult CirqueStars

In 2017 we made a show called RETROGRADE. It was created over four months from an adult programme which we called Adult CirqueStars, where 16 participants got together each week to make a show that was truly spectacular.

This year, Adult CirqueStars is back!!

Over 12 weeks, we are going to push you to learn aerial, balance and coordination skills in a way you never have before. This will all contribute to the creation of an epic performance for multiple shows in December. MORE INFORMATION

Please note: this is for individuals that already have some experience with circus and are looking to take their next creative step

student showcase

Halfway through the year we hold a community showcase, where our adult and young members perform for their friends and family in a variety-style cabaret. Each class will have an act in the showcase, and students will be able to audition for solo opportunities.

Your coaches will let you know about this in class (and don’t worry, it’s optional!)

why do circus?

Well, apart from the benefits to mental and physical health, you will find an inclusive safe community space, with open arms held out to all ability levels.

“Excellent place to learn, the instructor was absolutely wonderful, so calm and fun which really helps when you’re stressing out. So much variation and you learn quickly which makes you feel great. 10/10!” – Meg Alexandra
