Environment: Circulation is primarily a workshop-based event, focusing mostly upon circus arts, from juggling, fire performing, clowning, and acrobalance, to pretty much everything in between. This year we are happy to announce that music will be live throughout, with both bands and dj's playing. We have the cream de la crop of circus instructors from Australia and New Zealand. We also have a diverse range of workshops from tai chi and yoga to drumming, ukulele and even flax weaving!
Circulation Festival started in 2003 and is managed as a non-profit organisation where it is fundraised by local organizations, and Highly Flammable Performers through regular performances over the course of the year. Through these performances we continue to contribute and create something that would otherwise not be able to happen. We create, share, and grow our creative collaborations to sustain our alternative endeavors and to raise awareness on particular issues.
In addition on the Saturday we are hosting two other exciting and collaborative events - a Free Circus Show (7pm at Sammy's) and Native Fusion (outdoor dance party back at Whare Flat), both substantial events on their own.
