Circus Studies
I have seen a few details of Circus Study opportunities in the past but I have never pursued the matter due to lack of time and a certain scratching of the head as to which section a contemporary circus company fits. As you can see I've opted for 'Theatre' as theatrical seems the best description.
Rotherham Youth Circus
Every Wednesday parents and families meet and interact while their children and young people aged 5 to 18, learn in an inclusive and supportive environment. These sessions are led by experienced, specialist circus tutors. Recently Rotherham Youth Circus has taken to the streets through a series of street shows in All Saints Square aimed at entertaining the local community and demonstrating the talents of local young people. Springwell Gardens Community Centre, Eastwood View, Springwell Gardens, Rotherham, S65 1NG.
