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:

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.
