Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Rotherham Unity centre summer workshop.
The group was of mixed skills ability, chance to meet some of the older students who have been with swamp for many years, whos skills and confidence in performing circus skills were very impressive. Loved the show, mix of students performing singular activities, a parade of circus skills and two longer more developed comedy sketches.
Something all children enjoy during workshop is playing the clown, I assume the joy comes from performing something they may normally have inhibitions about for comic effect makes light of these areas, thus making for an enjoyable experience for them and their audience. (may consider this more, as I research clowning further)
– Saturday 21st – Hackenthorpe fair, a local community type fair, a field, lots of stalls, inflatable children play areas, centre ring.
Lots of local community, all day there was interest in the stall, people coming over having ago at the equipment, taking instruction from swamp workers and myself. There was a performance space, that had dancers, martial artists, that attracted larger audiences, could have been a great performance space, apparently had been a plan to use time at Rotherham unity centre to prepare performance for this, but due to lack of funding this didn’t happen, which seems a shame.
