Summer Term
Performance Class
Teacher Training Program
Due to popular demand we have decided to introduce a Summer term here at The Dust Palace!
We will be running 4, 3 hour sessions a week at The Dust Palace studio. These are open to all levels of students, from those who have never touched a trapeze to those that already know the ropes! These sessions will be monitored by members of our professional teaching team who will be there to assist, inspire and support you through your summer circus journey! Have time to create your own act, a space to keep up your training, time to introduce your friends and family to what you do and expert advice and hints and tips from our professional team.
Starting Monday 4th January, sessions will run Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, 5:30-8:30pm and Saturday 10am-1pm.
We’re doing a performance class! Across terms 1 and 2 we'll cover a whole range of performance techniques and performance creation techniques as well as how to put on a show! Heaps of tools and practice in making circus performance ending with a showing of a self-created work! If you want the experience of becoming a circus company for two terms and learning how all that works… sign up to this!
The course runs across 2 terms and you have to commit to both. Classes are on Friday evening and you get a delicious selection of tutors tailored to give you the best learning possible!
