Rebel Circus: Circus Factory Youth Ensemble
Have you ever wanted to walk a tight wire, jump through hoops or do a handstand? Then this bespoke mixed circus skills programme is for you.
Rebel Circus offers an opportunity for young people to learn new skills and discover circus as a means of creative expression, creating their own show. The course will focus on collaboration and having the young people grow together as a group, to create projects that are lead by their own interests and creativity.
The programme is determined by the young people's interests, where our coaches guide and encourage them to try new ideas and skills. Between January to March, the current ensemble have decided they would like to work towards a show for Cruinniú na nÓg, making an interpretation of an Irish Myth.
Over 10 weeks there will be the opportunity to be immersed in the creation process for making a circus show. There will be the opportunity to create solo and ensemble acts, whilst refining circus skills and learning about the wider production needs.
This course is suitable for new and previous students to our youth programme, however it ishould be taken in addition to a second Circus class at Circus Factory.
