Training of Trainers led by Thomas Hinz, May 2015.
A week of teacher training in adaptive circus, lead by Thomas Hinz from Circability in New Zealand, has led to the exciting formation of circus4all Yangon. As part of the training, organised by Serious Fun in May 2015, participants created a show and loved it so much they decided to do more.
Fire Show at Mahabdoola Park, downtown Yangon
facing City Hall on the last day of the 1st Yangon International Juggling Festival.
We got the authorities to open up and move back the barbed-wire barriers so that more Burmese people could see the show.
Some images of the Day of Fun at Kandawgyi Park – open to everyone
involving then young people we have worked with since November 2014. Juggling Games, Fun, Poetry and Shows for international artists and shows from the young people we have trained to juggle and play.
