Circus Skills Workshop

Get ready for a fun-filled, interactive experience at this circus skills 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 ignite creativity and boost confidence in participants. No prior circus experience is necessary! The workshop will kick off with a fun group game and warm-up, setting the stage for a series of exciting circus skills circuits.

Workshop Content:

• Hula Hooping: Learn basic manoeuvres including spinning the hoop on your hands, waist, neck, and even your bum, along with some manipulation tricks.
• Poi Spinning: Master the basics of poi spinning, including forwards, backwards, and changing direction.
• Plate Spinning: Get the hang of plate manipulation, from spinning a single plate on a stick to passing it to other participants.
• Ball Juggling: Enhance your hand-eye coordination with 1, 2, and 3 ball tricks, focusing on throwing, catching, and balancing.
• Acro Balance: Learn basic partner counterbalances and attempt some exciting tricks in a safe, controlled environment.

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.
