Following on from last year's very successful Summer Circus Olympics, we are soon staging the SittCom Circus Easter Olympics. With 100 students participating in 15 events, covering 7 disciplines, it should prove to be a fantastic youth circus project.
SittCom Circus, a youth, peer-led circus workshop team from Kent, enjoy learning and developing their skills and meeting other like-minded folk at this year's Convention, held at the Circus Space in London.
Over 100 students from Sittingbourne Community College compete in a range of circus disciplines, including Unicycling and Plate Spinning, as part of the SittCom Circus Summer Olympics 2009.
Organised by Tom Kellett, a Youth Arts Worker employed by Kent Youth Service.
Slightly edited footage from this year's TLC Games, held at the Circus Space in London. One of the young people from SittCom Circus, Kieran, won the Devilstick Propellor Spin Endurance and he's only 17!
I took the SittCom Circus Crew, who've been learning and developing circus skills over the past few years, to the Milton Keynes Juggling Convention in November 2010. While we were there, I bumped into an old friend from Wales, Pete Gamble. He agreed to let me film him teaching my young people the art of whipcracking. Enjoy!
