LEICESTERSHIRE SCHOOLS PERFORMANCE @ CURVE

The Leicester - shire Arts in Education performance of the Snow Queen will be on this Saturday 10th July! You'll see our 10ft (possibly higher now with hair etc) Snow Queen puppet! We also worked with the pupils delivering a series of workshops during the devising process for elements they could incorporate into the performance, the workshops included visual techniques using fabric and everyday items, Circus Skills and Poi Spinning, we are looking forward to seeing the final performance to see how they have taken the skills onboard, developed and included them in the performance.

We love our work!

We had a really enjoyable day delivering Circus Skills sessions at Forest Way Special School, the pupils, the staff and the space were all delightful to work with. Our Stilt Walkers greeted the pupils as they arrived for a picnic lunch in the sunshine and then we had our Circus Skills sessions in the afternoon. Many pupils remembered how to do the circus skills from our visit last year and for this year they also had the option of dressing up with our dressing up box and puppet theatre. Above is a picture of their ampitheatre space and our simple set for Circus Skills workshops in schools.
