It felt like a little extension of Christmas as Circus Starr arrived in Cambridge to start their UK tour.
It was great to connect with the team once more as they kindly provided us with 80 tickets for their Cambridge performance, and what a fantastic evening it was. Led by Ringmaster Adam we were bowled over to see a fantastic array of creative aerial skills, juggling, dexterity and humour in a really well-rounded performance that was thoroughly enjoyed.
Like us, Circus Starr believes in a world where anything is possible. They understand that attending mainstream events can be difficult for children with additional needs or families in difficult circumstances. They have created a tut-free zone, a show in which shouting out, dancing and jumping up and down are expected. Everyone is encouraged to let go of their worries, get involved, and be themselves at their circus. Their shows are inclusive and very much focused on children with additional needs. Perfectly suitable for children that struggle to sit still or focus at such an event.
As a Community Interest Company (CIC), their purpose is to impact the lives of the children and their families in our audiences around the UK and to impact the communities in which they perform.
A special evening with the fantastic Circus Starr team and we can’t wait for them to return to Cambridge again.
