Depending on age groups, several circus techniques are introduced. Starting off with a fun movement game, children then will train with different circus objects. These might include ball juggling, plate manipulation, stick balancing and tight wire walking. All exercises are designed to give some feeling of achievement, independent of the level. The classes generally finish with the creation of an acrobatic group pyramid.

The workshop challenges the children’s motor skills, coordination and balance, as well as encouraging team work and perseverance.

Loose Ends: Out-of-the-Ordinary Visual Theatre set in a Wondrous Tinkering Heaven

Makers, creators, and story lovers; dive into a theatrical adventure that feels like the magic box of a bygone trickster!

Journey to an eccentric place where gadgets are poetic, puppets naughty, machines untamed and circus tricks pop up when you’re least expecting it! This is a world where music appears from lemons, carrots and bunny’s bums, monsters go crazy and birthday parties are ferociously celebrated.

Loose Ends is the story of a man who thinks he can organise all his life in boxes, and has a knack for getting into mischief. Can this tinkerer learn enough about real friendship to keep him out of trouble?

This breathtaking show is highly visual, emotional and unpredictable. It makes inventions and machines fun and adds a few quirky edges to puppetry.
