Cirque de Silk presents:
An Aerial Circus extravaganza
The students of Cirque de Silk will be dazzling audiences with their dynamic, daring and stunning aerial performances. With performers ranging from 4 to 18 years old you’ll get a glimpse into the wonderful world of aerial arts with performances on aerial silks and aerial hoop.
Cirque de Silk started in 2019 since then we now have our own aerial studio in Street where we teach aerial classes to both children and adults. Alongside our group classes we also run holiday clubs, intensives, retreats and teacher training courses. We encourage our children to perform and give them plenty of opportunities to get involved with professional events as well as our annual student showcase. We have had the pleasure of attending youth events at the National Centre for Circus Arts in London and our students have won medals at the Aerial Southwest Championships.

Stacked Wonky Presents:
4 Minutes
A countdown duet for two 16-year-olds with just 4 minutes to report back on life. Raw, physically risky and delicate – like a radio that refuses to be tuned to one station.
Follow the 4 minutes balloon to find this performance.
Stacked Wonky is a glorious entanglement of performance making, incredible kids and a high street HQ in Porlock. They believe young people have the power to deliver a gut-punch to audiences unlike any other. 4 Minutes, now touring nationally, does just that.
