Crossing The Tightrope Together

Brunswick's Westside Circus will again be abuzz with juggling, hula hooping and tightwire walking on Sunday afternoons, when families from Yarra and beyond take part in the Crossing the Tightrope Together program throughout 2012.

The program, funded by Yarra City Council through its grants scheme, is targeted towards local children who have a disability (aged 8-16 years) and their families. The program will increase participants' access to opportunities for physical activity, skill development and social inclusion through the workshops that introduce the participants to a range of circus skills including hula hoops, juggling, devil sticks, diablo, tightwire, acrobalance and tumbling.

We've now spent a full term in the Brunswick space and we're happy to say that we have been enjoying our new home. We now have a range of aerial rigs and rigging just for children, set against the back drop of a bright blue sky complete with fluffy white clouds. Our wall mirrors have been a great new addition to the space, allowing participants to see their human pyramids and double balances in full.

When: The last Sunday of each month from 10.30- 12pm, Feb 26, Mar 25, Apr 29, May 27, 24 June, 29 July, 26 Aug, 30 Sept, 28 Oct, 25 Nov

Where: Westside Circus, 2/29 Cameron St, Brunswick

Cost: $150 ( 10 Sessions)
