Training & Preparation – 2013

Working out how to bring circus history to life, telling the stories, learning new skills and making it entertaining too is all part of the fun and the challenge we have relished in our physical sessions. These included workshops and trainings in our various youth circus clubs and with the two La Bonche performance crews: Madame la Bonche’s Wonder Circus aged (12 – 22) and her Mini Marvels (aged 9 – 11)!
