Enriching communities with performance

 

 

A blessing to Rochdale and it’s communities, the last few years have been the most difficult and Skylight's work is valued & needed more than ever within the Borough.

Skylight Circus Group Workshops for Youth & Community Groups in Greater Manchester and North West

Looking for a fun, engaging, and inclusive activity for your group? Skylight Circus Arts offers tailored Circus Skills Workshops designed to inspire creativity, build confidence, and foster teamwork. Perfect for youth groups, schools, community organisations and more, our workshops are a great way to bring people together for a memorable experience.

Group Circus Skills Taster Workshop

Our Group Circus Skills Taster Workshop is a popular choice for groups wanting to try something new. In this 1-2 hour session, up to 30 participants can dive into circus arts, learning exciting yet achievable skills like feather balancing, flower sticks and spinning plates.

The workshop includes fun demonstrations by our talented trainers and participants are either divided into small groups or allowed to choose which skills they’d like to focus on. Whether it’s juggling, diabolos, or plate-spinning, every skill is designed to ensure that success breeds success, building confidence as participants master new abilities.

Full-Day Circus Workshop

Take your group’s circus experience to the next level with our Full-Day Circus Workshop. In this immersive session, participants will have the opportunity to learn more advanced skills such as tight wire, stilt-walking, or even building human pyramids! By the end of the day, participants will be ready to show off their new skills to each other or to an informal audience—whether it’s family, friends, or colleagues.

Tailored Circus Workshops to Meet Your Needs

At Skylight Circus Arts, we pride ourselves on providing bespoke workshops designed to meet the specific needs of your group. Whether you’re looking for a fun taster session, a skills-building workshop, or a residency over several sessions, we’ve got you covered.

We can host the workshop at our fully-equipped circus space, or bring the fun to your venue. Our workshops are suitable for all ages and abilities, including youth groups, performing arts classes, libraries, schools, Brownies, Cubs, and even retirement homes. We also specialise in working with groups with disabilities and hard-to-reach groups, ensuring that everyone feels included and supported.
