Northwest Circus School Spring Programme THE NORTH WEST CIRCUS SCHOOL is opening its doors offering a chance to have fun learning JUGGLING, STILT WALKING, FIRE AND UNICYCLE in its unique weekly programme operating out of the Waterside Theatre and the Gasyard Centre. Following the continued success of last years programme, IN YOUR SPACE will facilitate these classes which focus primarily on enjoyment and giving the chance to learn non academic skills to surprise and amaze!
