Cycas Circus is
the Far North's first high school circus
troupe. The troupe of twenty was formed
three years ago by founder and director Patti Burnheim, a drama teacher from
Smithfield State High School.
The students
incorporate circus, drama and dance
skills with lights, costume and sound to
create a unique and entertaining
performance.
Trained by local
professionals in weekly workshops and
daily rehearsals, the students are
developing circus and acrobalance skills
along with building self-confidence and
team work.
They are
presently touring locally with their
performances and
taking bookings for functions and
fetes. After an astounding performance
at the Tanks in September 2006 for the
Super Kids Circus Show, they were
invited to Western Australia in March
2007 for the International Circus
Festival.
To help support
future tours, the troupe is looking for
sponsors and donations in return for
advertising and free performances.
The circus
troupe is a group or ordinary kids doing
extraordinary things...Experience it for
yourself!
