World Circus Day is Rolling into Roscommon!!!!

To get Roscommon’s young people ready to enjoy World Circus Day on the 18th April there will be a number of skills workshops delivered in schools and Castlerea Library the day before it. 

The schools events will be closed to students only but the library will give open access for a wider chance to get involved.

Here’s the info:

Friday, the 17th of April:

Granlahan NS & Ballinlough NS: 2 Circus workshops with Juggler Brendan

Castlerea, S N Pol Naofa: Circus Workshops with Stephen McGinley

Castlerea, St. Anne’s: The Crazy Circus Show with Stephen McGinley

Castlerea Library: 2 Juggling Workshops for all with Cormac Mohally (1pm and 4pm), 12 participants each, registration via the library.

Accessible juggling, also known as Functional Juggling, is a method created by Craig Quat that makes juggling inclusive for everyone, regardless of physical or mental abilities. It focuses on the core relationships of space, rhythm, and movement rather than complex tricks, using adapted tools like juggle boards for social connection, developing coordination, concentration, and creativity. It redefines juggling as a universal practice, allowing people of all abilities and ages to participate and connect through shared movement and sensory experiences, including using everyday objects.

Open to all ages, with a max group of 12 per workshop. Free, but registration via Castlerea Library required. Taught by Circus Artist Cormac Mohally.
