Little Top Stars workshops use circus skills to connect education, physical art and social development in a fun way. Learn the art of juggling, plate spinning, hula hoops and diabolo.

The workshop will be run by:

Beanie- At the age of four I began learning circus skills using a broom. I soon realized how flexible I was & decided to learn contortion and aerials. I use my experience and tools which I learned during CTF (Social Circus Training for Trainers) to teach circus skills to people from all walks of life.

Finn-Having supported many international social projects, I completed an honours degree in Social Care. However difficult it may appear; I believe that everyone can learn a new skill & I’m passionate about using creative techniques to teach.

From Mayo, we bring our circus workshops to people all over Ireland & we also work with children in refugee camps in Greece
