Other: | Their aim is to bring together local Circus artists/practitioners of all ages to put together a core team who will promote Circus as an alternative form of exercise & physical education. They aim to bring Circus Skills to schools, community centres and youth groups across the county, to develop and promote Circus Arts as an innovative and non-competitive activity. They work closely with the Galway Community Circus who have been operating successfully for over ten years and teach a broad selection of disciplines to young children, toddlers and adults. They also provide a number of Outreach Programmes to the wider community. Both organisations are non-profit and operate on government and private funding sources. Any money raised goes towards necessary fees, rent and equipment costs. They hope to collect enough to help other arts groups who may also be struggling. |

Other: | UCD’s Juggling Society caters to those with an interest in learning and improving circus skills. Activities include juggling (balls, contact, clubs, and rings), diabolo, spinning plates, staff, hula hooping, poi, slacklining, ballooning, face painting, acrobalance and unicycling. Circus arts are a fun and mentally-stimulating way to exercise which can improve balance, coordination and dexterity. People of all skill levels are welcome and encouraged to ask for advice. The society is based around skill-sharing, meaning it is extremely social. Members are very welcoming, colleges and circus communities intermingle and it’s very easy to make lasting friends from a variety of backgrounds. The circus community in Ireland is very inclusive with meets continuing into the summer months and weekend-long trips to circus conventions in Tralee, Belfast, Dublin and Galway, where you can immerse yourself in circus arts, see some of the world’s best performers as well as take part in professional workshops. |
