We were excited to continue the workshop series format introduced through last year’s Circus & Story programme. For 2026, Circus Moves explored circus & movement, creating opportunities for young people to build confidence, encourage creativity, support inclusive participation, and enjoy a positive space to express themselves. This year we were delighted to partner with local authorities and LCYP’s across Ireland, enabling us to engage with young people in their own communities.
These videos below with participants from Involve Ballina & facilitator Keeva O’Neil give an insight into this Circus Moves collaboration supported by Mayo County Council, Mayo LCYP and the Irish Aerial Creation Centre.
