A fantastic course involving aerial tissu and rope skills, static trapeze and ring, acrobatic balancing and tumbling, groupand partner work, object manipulation (juggling balls, scarves, clubs, staff, poi, hoops and more); unicycle, rollabola andstilts. Although you don.t have to be a gymnast to give it a go, a good level of strength and fitness will help you make themost of this course.

The Wellington Circus Trust was founded in 2005 and has been a vibrant part of the performance community since. The trust provides a facility for circus and physical performers in Wellington, though its primary aim is to foster a thriving circus community. The WCT provides classes for children and adults and has a team of NZ and international circus performers and tutors.
Alice Capper-Star and Deborah Pope, long time tutors at the drama school, are founding members of the WCT and each year send a dedicated and talented team to NYDS.
