Adventure Circus do their bit for charity!

Our favourite circus school in Perth (okay so they’re the only one, but they’d still be our favourites!)

Adventure Circus are urging local people to hop onto their website and buy a ticket for their show ‘Seasons’ on 12^th November, and buy another one to donate to someone else as part of a ‘Pay It Forward’ scheme while they’re there. Pay it forward is a movement where you do something kind for someone else, but without expecting anything in return.  What better way to get a feel good fuzzy feeling while you look forward to seeing the spectacular show yourself?

Adventure Circus operate as a social enterprise and the beneficiaries of all pay it forward tickets donated will be PKAVS Young Carers, and individuals counselled by Mindspace Perth.  For every pay it forward ticket purchased, Adventure Circus will also pay forward a ticket, so that guests can enjoy the show with a friend.

Adventure Circus Director Gemma Simpson said:

"We have heard about the success fellow social enterprises have had using pay it forward schemes, and we are keen to replicate this so that as many people in Perth as possible can enjoy watching and participating in circus skills." 

"The show is a collaboration of both our professional instructors and our students work, and is our first theatre production in Perth.  We are working in partnership with Perth College sound and lighting students, in their Goodlyburn Theatre, which is an excellent stage to showcase our creativity!"

The show will combine single, double and even triple performances on trapeze, unicycle, silks, lyra and rope.  Special guests from Edinburgh are also in the line up, visiting Perth to show off their fire and hooping skills.

Pay it forward tickets are £12 plus booking fee. Book here>>>

All proceeds will go towards growing Adventure Circus's performance department, so that more shows can take place in Perth, helping to support Perth's 2021 City of Culture Bid.

Adventure Circus is an award winning social enterprise established 1 January 2015, founded by Gemma Simpson.  In May 2015 Stephen Armour joined the team as co-director. They provide classes for both adults and children in aerial acrobatics (think trapeze and colourful silks!) as well as juggle, poi, balance and hula hooping.

Gemma is an aerialist based in Bridge of Earn, but also has a ‘proper’ job as Events and Marketing Manager with Triathlon Scotland.   In 2015 Gemma took part in the first series of Ninja Warrior UK, the World’s most extreme obstacle course game show screened on ITV.

Stephen is an accomplished singer and musician (violin) and aerialist from Greenock. Most recently he was trained by world famous aerial artists Leo Hedman and Yam Doyev at Gravity Circus School in London.
