POSTPONED - The Carny Villains
2020-05-16 21:00 - 2020-05-17 00:30
The Carny Villains are a six-piece theatrical band from Bristol, known for their raucous blend of stomping ska, swing and balkan-style folk, all played with the riotous energy of punk-rock. Their enigmatic and animated live shows remain unrivalled for their mix of theatre, humour, energy and showmanship.
“When they perform live, they are a full-sensory theatrical experience. Their clowning around on stage and chemistry keeps the crowd laughing and dancing until they play their last notes and the whole audience has been whipped into a jumping frenzy”.

Aerial sling is a new and increasingly popular aerial circus discipline that uses a giant loop of aerial silk. It draws from both trapeze and aerial silks vocabulary to create beautiful static poses or dynamic sequences. Sling is a great entry point for aerial circus as it’s one of the more comfortable pieces of apparatus to start learning how to make shapes in the air!
Over the course of each half term we will work on developing strength, core, technique and vocabulary and learning short sequences.
Beginners are welcome and no experience necessary. £12 per session booked in advance by the half term
