Join us for the official screening of the documentary 'Circus is for Every Body', which follows the experiences of D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent young people in Galway, as they take part in circus for the first time.
***If you are family members of a performer in the show, please reach out to your group leader at Enable Ireland, Galway Autism Partnership or Scoil Chaitríona to secure tickets to the private family screening***
Galway Community Circus provided weekly circus workshops for young people from Enable Ireland, Scoil Chatríona and Galway Autism Partnership, helping them build skills in aerial, acrobatics, balance and creative expression.
Through two creative residencies, disabled and non-disabled artists from Extraordinary Bodies (a UK inclusive circus company) worked alongside the young people and Galway Community Circus trainers to shape a final performance – ‘Take Up Space’.
This documentary centres the young people as they share their journeys and the joy and camaraderie they felt from this project. Their parents, support workers and the Galway Community Circus and Extraordinary Bodies teams reflect on the delight they felt from working with the young people.
Join us to watch this film that celebrates inclusion.
All tickets proceeds benefit Galway Community Circus.
Disabled parking is available and EYE is wheelchair friendly and accessible. The film will be subtitled for D/deaf and hard of hearing viewers.
