NoFit State are launching a 6 week programme of accessible Welsh language youth circus classes delivered digitally to the most remote parts of Wales.
The programme is designed for children and young people aged 5-16 in Wales who face geographical barriers to participating in circus. Giving them the opportunity to try circus for the first time whilst practising and improving their Welsh language skills. The online classes are built to be accessible and will be tailored to the needs of the group in the level of circus, Welsh language proficiency and age.
The weekly hour-long classes will teach kids exciting new circus skills without the need of any specialist equipment and can be taken part in from their own homes or from a community ‘bubble’ such as from their school room, local community centre or town hall.
Access to a stable internet connection and electronic devices for participants are needed. Communities for who this is a problem are still very welcome to apply for the programme, and every effort will be made to find a way to overcome these barriers if at all possible.
Applications to participate are currently being invited from organisations that support children based in geographically remote parts of Wales who could benefit from taking part. Participation is completely free this autumn thanks to the support of the Arts Council of Wales. However, there is limited availability so applying before 12th of October will increase the likelihood of organisations being able to take part, with classes starting from mid-October.
