Job Summary
Join Reallynice to make a sensory circus experience, co-created with young people with complex needs.
Job Description
See Saw is a sensory circus collaboration between Reallynice, Flying Fantastic, and the learners and teachers at Cherry Garden school, Peckham. Harnessing innovative circus equipment, together we will be making a creative experience designed to be enjoyed and explored predominantly by young people with complex needs and their teachers and/or carers, playing with the theme of balance through difference.
Project work timeline:A total of 4 days between 8th January - 27th March.
Project fee: £532.00 (£31,920 FTE)
The project objective is to work alongside our team of performers, creatives, sensory specialists and teachers from Cherry Garden school to introduce the young participants (students at Cherry Garden School) to the elements that make up circus performance. Then to encourage them to interact with those elements to inform our final showing. This will involve:
- Supporting the performers in experimenting with the base aerial set up (two aerial slings run through pulleys so they counterweight each other.
- Advising on adjustments, improvements to the existing system.
- Leading on devising ways for the young participants or future audiences to engage with the aerial set up safely. This will be supported by mentors with experience and specialisation in working with young people with complex needs.
- Designing and quoting for the construction of a transportable rig that could support the production in touring (to be built into the next funding application for the next stage of the project)
- Attending some rehearsals/workshops in Feb/Mar 2024
