Skylight Circus Arts offer group taster sessions with options from 1.5 hours to a full day.  Sessions cover a variety of skills from trapeze to stilt walking.  We can offer bespoke workshops for any group or event: 

Skylight Sessions are:

• In our studio theatre or in your space 
• Sensitive and supportively staffed
• Non competitive and inclusive
• All ages and abilities

Short Circus Workshop

A popular 90 minute session for up to 30 participants (a class). Easily achievable skills like feather-balancing are taught to the whole group first. Success breeds success! Trainers give an entertaining demonstration of skills and participants either choose which to concentrate on or are divided into groups, moving around activities.

Full day Circus Workshop

More skills are added, including:  tightwire, stilt-walking, unicycles and pyramids.  The group can perform skills at the end of the session, to each other or an informal audience e.g. family or colleagues!
