Get ready to laugh, play, and perform at this clowning and physical theatre workshop brought to you by Dummies Corporation, winners of the best Children’s Presentation at the Adelaide Fringe Festival and internationally acclaimed.

This one-hour circus skills workshop is designed to boost confidence, embrace the funny, and introduce participants to the basics of stagecraft. Through a series of fun and inclusive exercises, participants will learn to use their bodies creatively and develop new performance skills. No prior circus experience is necessary!

Workshop Content:

  • Warm-up and Games: Start with engaging name and action games to break the ice and get everyone thinking creatively and moving. 
  • Physical Theatre Exercises: Learn basic physical theatre techniques and exercises tailored to all skill levels, delivered in a fun and supportive environment. 
  • Clown Games: Explore a variety of clowning skills through playful and interactive clown games.
  • Slapstick Techniques: Discover the art of slapstick with safe and comical techniques, including tripping, falling, and slapping in a rhythmical way.
  • Performance: Participants will showcase their new skills in a short performance at the end of the workshop.

Like the show, this workshop places great emphasis on creative play and self-empowerment, allowing participants to carry these imaginative experiences into their daily lives. It is the perfect introduction to circus arts, providing a unique opportunity to connect with the performance and the artists themselves.

Limited spaces are available, so register now and embark on a circus adventure that promises laughter, skill-building, and summer entertainment.  

After the workshop, don’t miss the chance to see the Trash Test Dummies in action later in the evening! Their award-winning show, filled with side-splitting slapstick comedy, daring acrobatics, and dexterous juggling, is a must-see family adventure. The fun and excitement continue as the Trash Test Dummies take the stage, bringing their unique brand of “delightfully intelligent, highly entertaining” (Herald Sun) circus-comedy to new heights.
