Convenience and flexibility are a priority. No transport needed, and your students stay in a familiar setting. Aerials need specialist rigging, so incursions focus on floor-based circus.
You want experiences that can't be replicated on school grounds, like aerial silks and trapeze, safety mats and trampolines. Highly recommended.

CircArts has grown my confidence in a way no one could have predicted for me as a child that wouldn't speak to anyone outside of my family.
