Circus Classes and Workshops

ZigZag Circus offers three types of circus arts training for both adults and children. Please select from the following list to find out more.

Workshops

ZigZag Circus offers a range of workshops in a variety of circus arts. These allow you to learn specific skills without committing to regular training. Most workshops are all-ages although some are specifically for adults or children.

Recent workshops have included Fire Breathing, Acrobatics and Stilt Walking as well as some general workshops out and about including as far afield as Mt Gambier.

Upcoming workshops:

  • Hula Hoop for beginners (all ages) 6-7:30pm Sunday 9th August at William Light School hall. Run by experienced trainer and performer, Verity Zali. Cost is $15 each ($12 for additional members of the same family).
  • Unicycling for beginners (all ages) 6-7pm Sundays 16th and 23rd August (2 hours total) at William Light School hall. Run by head trainer, Alessandro Gavello. Cost is $25 each ($20 for additional members of the same family).

Performer Training

Regular training for ZigZag Circus performers is conducted on Mondays and Thursdays from 8:00 - 10:30pm at Glengowrie YMCA and Wednesdays from 8:00 - 10:30pm at William Light School in Plympton. This training is run by our head trainer, Alessandro Gavello

This training is largely self-directed so participants can learn and practice the skills that are of interest to them. Those who wish to do so can also take part in ZigZag Circus performances.

Participation is generally by invitation only although beginners are welcome to join our 'newbie nights' on the first Monday of every month. Those with prior circus experience are welcome to join us on other nights - please contact us first.
