Circus Transformation presents

SEASONS


A free circus performance by an international group of circus trainers

We're delighted to offer this free performance for our community!

From 3rd to 7th April, a group of 22 circus trainers from 12 international circus schools will be at Galway Community Circus to participate in the final module of Circus Transformation 7, a training programme for social circus trainers. The module, titled ‘Circus Techniques, Creativity and Foundations’ aims to teach participants how to create a performance as part of a social circus project. One of the best ways of learning is by doing, and the circus trainers will be creating a short work-in-progress performance during the module.

They would love to share what they create with you, our circus community, and will present their work-in-progress show on Sunday 7th April at 2pm, at Galway Community Circus. We would love for you to join us!

This performance is free and is suitable for all ages. Booking is required. The show will last approximately 1 hour.
