Team Circus Skills Workshop For 12 Description: Who wants to join the circus? Circus skill workshops are unique. Unlike other group events, this team event doesnt encourage competitiveness. Instead, we prefer your team of people to work together to achieve great results. Best of all, theres a place for every kind of person in the circus from strong-people to nimble flyers and even a funny clown or two! On the day of your circus skills workshop, youll be met by two of our trainers, who will welcome you into the world of the circus and provide your group with an introduction to their half day activity. We begin the day with theatre and warm up games to get your team ready for their high flying experience. Following that, well break your group into two teams and before long its time to get into the circus activities! Depending on your group, we may choose to look at some of the following circus skills, from acro-balance and human pyramids, clowning, trapeze and hula through to juggling, the tight wire, globe walking and even a balancing act on the unicycle! Throughout the day, your teams will try different circus activities and finally, we finish with a warm down session. We will encourage your group to participate as fully as possible, however we ask people to self-monitor and will check-in with you throughout the session. Our aim is to create an environment where people feel comfortable to listen to their own bodies, support one another in their challenges (physically, emotionally and mentally) and have great fun with each other!
