ELEVATE CIRCUS WORKSHOPS
A Day of Circus Skills Workshops for Events
Circus Skills Workshop Days for events are perfect for school or community summer fairs as well as public events and festivals. We can provide 1 or more tutors to hold drop in style circus skills workshops to keep everyone entertained. All we need is an area about the same size as a tennis court, ideally with some shade.
Available all over mainland United Kingdom!
What are “drop in style workshops”?
Basically speaking, rather than being a “structured” lesson, children (and adults) can drop in and out as they please. There is always at least one tutor on hand to help and teach but it is overall a lot more relaxed.
The majority of events hold these outdoors which is fine, although it does mean that we can’t teach things like feather balancing or juggling with scarves if there’s any wind. So if there is a covered structure of some sort it would be much better located inside.
The equipment that will be bought along with the tutor mostly includes the following; juggling balls, scarves and clubs, Poi, flower stick, Diabolo, gymnastic ribbons, feathers, hula hoop and beginners stilts. A slack-line can also be booked at additional cost.
Our tutors will bring all the circus equipment but don’t need any electricity or sound/microphone system.
If the drop in workshops are to be outside they would need some sort of shade, a gazebo or similar is fine. The size of the area needed depends on how many participants you expect. 1 tutor can provide workshops for up to around 40 so if you think there will be more you will need to book more tutors, and the cost for these will simply be double or triple etc. depending on how many you book.
Generally speaking each tutor/session/workshop for 35-40 participants needs an area similar in size to a tennis court or approx 10m x 10m and cordoned off with something to help keep the equipment contained.
The skills taught in the workshops varies slightly from tutor to tutor but generally includes juggling with scarves, balls and clubs, spinning plates, Poi, flower stick, Diabolo, feather balancing, beginners stilts, hula hoop and gymnastic ribbons.
You will need to allow for our tutors to have some breaks and if the times booked are over 5 hours, they will need an hour for lunch.
All of our tutors have DBS certificates and PLI which can be sent if required.
