We are thinking about opening another class in collaboration with Galway Educate Together as part of their after school programme. We hope this might be also possible with some other schools.
We do not yet provide regular classes in the County, this will not be possible until next year, when the project has settled and found its base in Galway City.
We do offer to schools and youth clubs individually tailored training sessions and Workshops. See workshop.
We intend to have a presentation in a real Circus Tent (hopefully) in connection with the Galway Juggling Convention in June next year
We also hope to be able to participate in this years St. Patricks Day Parade
Baboro and The early music festival show interest in working with us.
