Today the circus came to Rotary.
Angharad from the Wellington Circus Trust, and Q from the Circus Hub told us about their respective roles and organisations, but first, we did some muscle flossing exercises. These stimulate proprioception (how your body knows where it is in space and what position it is in). Body awareness is a fundamental of circus performance especially tight rope walkers, which is Q’s speciality. She went into a circus programme at five years old, studied for her degree and masters in other subjects, but returned to her love of circus.
