Spotlight Shine at Rochdale Town Hall for Generations to Come
Our youth circus performers recently had the chance to bring circus to one of Rochdale’s most iconic spaces, the Great Hall at Rochdale Town Hall. They were invited to perform at Generations to Come, a community celebration highlighting creativity across ages and cultures within Rochdale.
Our young performers shared excerpts from Sky Fi, Skylight’s recent original show exploring the vastness of space, time and the young people questioning our connection to the universe. The group took acrobalance and juggling pieces to share with an audience of over 200 people.
The young performers recreated their acts before their feature at the Town Hall, with the stage measuring one third the size of their initial performance space, the group showed resilience, flexibility and creative thinking.
Spotlight is our youth performance group for young people aged 12 to 20 who want to push their circus skills further and gain hands on experience in the creative industry. They train weekly at Skylight and take part in events like this to build experience, confidence, creativity and connections with the community.
Thank you
A massive thank you to the organisers of Generations to Come for inviting us and creating space for young, creative talent in the heart of the Rochdale community.
Coming soon
Keep an eye out for more Spotlight appearances across the borough as we continue sharing circus and building new connections through circus performance. Find us at Darnhill Festival & Rochdale Feel Good Family Picnics.
