‘MOVICALS’
SUNDAY 24TH AUGUST
It’s the annual Student Showcase and this year the theme is ‘Movicals’ !!
Students were asked to choose a song from a movie musical and create an aerial performance around the character or theme from the movie.
Working in pairs or groups of three, students are devising their choreography and conceiving their costumes, while learning about the creative process behind devising an act for a performance.
I see my job as facilitating their creativity, so I try to stand back to give guidance and offer advice only where necessary.
The tweens have taken over the circus.
The show takes the format of a cabaret with our venue turned into a theater with lights, sound and seating.
DOORS: Open at 1:30pm
SHOWTIME: 2pm - 4pm (ish)
Ticket Price: $30 - Includes booking fee.
GOO GOO MUCK - HALLOWEEN COSTUME PARTY
GOO GOO MUCK was an immersive theatrical experience for young people, an in real life event, a place to interact with friends, build social skills, dance and have fun.
Our troupe students created new aerial acts to ‘Ghost Busters’ performed as the green Slimer Ghost and ‘Goo Goo Muck’ performed as three Wednesday Adams.
Games were conceived and created by our very own Graham Power and included ‘Stick the Eye on the Zombie’ and ‘Throw the Ring on the Witches Hat
We served pop corn, fairy floss and snow cones.
This 10 minutes video is a documentary of how it went down, from start to finish, so sit back and enjoy the ride.
NATIONAL CIRCUS FESTIVAL & TRAINING PROGRAM
I am delighted to announce that I have received funding from the Australian Government via Regional Arts NSW to contribute towards the costs of attending the National Circus Festival and Training Program this coming October.
I will spend 5 days participating in workshops to learn new skills to bring back to my students and then attending the 3 days of the festival to see shows and network with the Australian Circus Community with a view to programming performances in our venue in the Southern Highlands.
And you never know, I might even manage to get myself a gig here or there, as I am still active as a performing circus artist at Age 50.

LEARN TO INVERT + BALANCE + CLIMB + SPIN + TWIZZLE
AERIAL SILKS
Aerial Silks is performed on slightly stretchy fabric. Students learn to climb the silks in a variety of styles, wrap into shapes that hold them in the air, and as their strength and skills improve, they learn spectacular rolls and drops.
AERIAL HOOP
Aerial Hoops are made of rolled steel. They provide a rigid structure from which to invert, balance, spin and twizzle. This apparatus requires less strength for beginners to bust some cool shapes, with more of a flow style achievable as you progress.
AERIAL YOGA
Aerial Yoga comes in many styles and is taught on a fabric hammock. Inversions allow you to work with gravity to find space in the joints, while performing the asanas with one foot in the air engages the core as you stabilise to balance.
