This is an exciting, unique and bespoke training opportunity for up to 10 people to gain new circus skills, train together and ignite their creativity, developing performance skills and confidence whilst working on making a brand new circus show.
​​
​Our Lost Performers Club (LPC) Sessions started in February 2024. Last summer we made an outdoor circus show called 'Rebellious Actions' which toured to Arnot Hill Park, Sneinton Festival & Gloworm Festival.
We have worked hard to secure National Lottery Community Grant Funding in order to keep our group running! We are now able to offer this opportunity going forward into 2025 to recruit new members and create a new show!​
​​
​​
We are keen for more people to join us to develop their skills and perform with us this summer 2025.
We are currently accepting new participants now - please click on the link below to apply - there is a short Google Form to register your interest in the opportunity.​​
What is it?
-
A Circus & Physical Theatre group for Neuro-divergent and/or Disabled Participants
-
We are currently exploring ideas for a new show. In each session we will begin working towards building a performance piece using creative theatre games, on the ground and then using aerial equipment like aerial silks, hoop and sling.
-
You will have the opportunity to explore aerial equipment, which can be adapted for individual accessibility requirements.
-
You can take these sessions at your own pace, with the help and guidance of our experienced instructors.
-
We provide a safe space in which to explore and play​​​
​
Who is it for?
-
We are primarily looking for wheelchair users, neuro-divergent and/or disabled participants in order to provide an amazing opportunity in which you can explore the world of circus and theatre in a safe environment. In this world, there is always something you can achieve, things that you may never have thought possible.
-
This is an opportunity for anyone to learn new circus skills, train together and ignite creativity, developing performance skills and confidence whilst working on making a new outdoor show.
-
You do not need to have any previous acting or circus abilities, but you must have an interest in exploring what you can achieve in these settings, which may be more than you think.
