Wellington Circus Trust is on
the move!
After six years without a home base, Wellington Circus Trust are setting up a permanent residence in Te Whaea, 11 Hutchison St, Newtown as of 1 January 2012
This exciting development has been a long time goal of the Trust, which was set up in 2005 to encourage professional and recreational excellence and growth of circus skills in the Wellington region.
“At last we have reached this turning point in the
history of New Zealand circus”, says WCT Manger, Alice
Capper-Starr. “This couldn’t have happened without
many hours of donated effort from our dedicated board of
trustees. Due to them there will be generations of
participants who reap the rewards of their stellar efforts.
And a special thanks WCC for funding some of our shifting
costs!”
Currently the Circus Trust runs five
levels of classes for Kids (3-12 years old), focusing on age
appropriate skills and over 20 classes for Teens & Adults,
developing skills ranging from Aerials, Trapeze, Tumbling,
Hula Hoop, Balance, and Juggling.
Kicking off in 2012 they are proud to add two Circus Fit classes to the programme. Early Morning Classes that focus on building strength & stamina and Lunchtime Classes that focus on more holistic exercise – stretch and conditioning work.
Timetables and booking information can be found at www.circus.org.nz
Christmas gift vouchers are available by emailing Alice info@circus.org.nz
Wellington Circus Trust was formed as a charitable Trust in December 2005. At that time there were a number of talented and enthusiastic circus professionals and amateurs who were creating wonderful performances, training and engaging in teaching and learning but finding the facilities and infrastructure was always a challenge. The Trust was formed in order to be able to set up the infrastructure needed for artists to train and share circus with the Wellington public.
