Silver Circus Club brings playful movement and circus skills to The Riverfront
Adults in Newport can discover a different way to stay active, build confidence and meet new people with Silver Circus Club, a weekly workshop at The Riverfront Theatre & Arts Centre.
Who says circus is just for children?
Silver Circus Club is inviting adults to step into the world of circus through a relaxed and playful weekly workshop combining movement, circus skills and social connection.
Held at The Riverfront Theatre & Arts Centre in Newport, the sessions are designed to support healthy ageing by encouraging mobility, coordination, focus and confidence, all while giving participants the chance to have fun and try something a little different.
Participants can explore a range of activities including juggling, clowning, balance exercises and playful movement, with no previous circus experience required. The emphasis is on taking part, having a go and enjoying the experience in a welcoming and supportive environment.
The workshops are led by Darryl J Carrington, a professional juggling clown with more than 20 years' experience performing comedy circus shows internationally, alongside Lucy Lost-It, a professional family entertainer and circus performer.
As well as providing gentle physical activity, the sessions offer an opportunity for participants to meet new people and stay socially connected. Activities are designed to help support balance and coordination, mobility and focus, while also encouraging confidence and wellbeing.
Rather than approaching exercise as something that has to take place in a gym, Silver Circus Club offers a more playful alternative, using the creativity and enjoyment of circus to get people moving.
Whether it's picking up some juggling balls for the first time, having a go at balancing or simply joining in with some playful movement, the workshops are open to anyone who wants to try something new.
