Every third Saturday of April is World Circus Day, which is Saturday April 18th.
To celebrate World Circus Day, UpDown Circus invites you to join them in the Park on Grand Parade in the heart of the city between 11am and 12pm, April 18th
Learn about Accessible Juggling and how you can include some circus in your everyday life.
What is Accessible Juggling?
Accessible juggling, also known as Functional Juggling, is a method created by Craig Quat that makes juggling inclusive for everyone, regardless of physical or mental abilities. The pedagogy focuses on the core relationships of space, rhythm, and movement rather than complex tricks, using adapted tools like juggle boards for social connection, developing coordination, concentration, and creativity. It redefines juggling as a universal practice, allowing people of all abilities and ages to participate and connect through shared movement and sensory experiences, including using everyday objects.
