Circus Solarus will be conducting a series of workshops for members of the community, with the aim of creating street theatre performances for Wintermagic 2007. The performances will be inspired by the work of the Katoomba Amusements Company who entertained visitors to the Blue Mountains in the early 1900’s. Each workshop day will incorporate theoretical and practical activities, designed to provide participants with confidence in devising and performing street theatre. Workshops will examine the unique features of street arts, which has gained credibility over recent years both here and overseas as a highly specialised form of theatre.
