Don’t Mess with the Dummies
Circus Workshop with The Dummies $10
Winning Best Children’s Event award at the Adelaide Fringe Festival 2021, this is an extraordinary adventure you just can’t miss.
Lions and tigers and Dummies, oh my! Set up camp and stampede into the jungle for an outlandish, circus filled extravaganza that will leave you chuckling like a monkey and roaring for more.
These Dummies are on an expedition and you’re invited along for the ride.
Pack your bag, tie your shoes and get ready for side-splitting hilarity as the Dummies rumble in the jungle, swing through treetops and bash through the undergrowth. This “rambunctious rollick” (The Age) features a rockin’ soundtrack, unbelievable acrobatics, high-flying aerials, “top notch creative clowning” (The Wee Review Edinburgh) and famous Dummies’ frivolity.
This “inspirational all-female troop” (The Wee Review Edinburgh) of strong women, empower and educate young audiences to question gender stereotypes and societal expectations of gender.
The Dummies are masters of their art, crafting a production “done with skill, imagination and a real understanding of what kids love” (Edinburgh 49). Having delighted audiences in thirteen countries and counting, with five-star reviews across the board, this is a crazy adventure sure to “have the children (and adults) in stitches throughout” (One 4 Review Edinburgh)
Circus Workshop with The Dummies
FRIDAY 17 March 2023, 4.30-5.30pm
Ages 6+ | Beginners Welcome
A fantastic chance for your little balls of energy to try out circus with The Dummies learning some of the skills from their show and creating a strong connection between the performance, the artists and their own experience. Circus is a fantastic way to develop skills, fitness and build confidence and character while having physical fun.
This workshop puts emphasis on creative play and self-empowerment for participants to carry this imaginative embodied experience into their lives beyond the workshop. They will be guided through a warm up and skills circuit with balls, hoops and plates with trainers who are highly skilled, professional and passionate about their art.
There will also be the opportunity to find out more about CircusKids, our term time weekly classes at BREC for ages 7+ taught by Head Over Heels Acrobatics.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body.
