Applications for the Juggle Poi Toy Zone Crew are now closed.
The Flaming-Juggle-Poi-Toy-Zone offers an extensive program of circus style workshops catering for all ages and abilities, and hosts a spectacular array of fire/uv performers each night throughout the festival.
The Workshops run on Thursday 2nd February until Tuesday 7th February, 10am-midday & 2pm-6pm daily.
In the mornings the sessions are intended for children, offering kids the chance to explore and increase their skills on a daily basis. Activities include hula hoop, poi, juggling, stilt-walking, slackline, unicycling & flowersticks.
Afternoon sessions are open to all ages : The comprehensive list of circus skills on offer is HUGE!! Please see our workshop listings for more information...but as a taster - rope dart, whip cracking, double staff, partner poi, contact juggling & the list goes on!!
In the evenings you'll be enthralled and inspired by the beauty and skill demonstrated by workshop presenters who perform with fire and glow toys around the festival site.
You can even try your new moves in poi, staff, clubs etc with fire in our supervised 'virgin burner' slot.
Prepare to learn a lot, play a lot and be thoroughly entertained!
