       SUMMER 2011 : THE BIG TOP @THE BLACK-E
  10 –27th August
    11am –3pm Wednesdays to Saturdays 

This Summer the Black-E is inspired by circus media & Chinese performance skills, by dance and film-making  -  and by the Black-E’s 43rd anniversary year.

Come and find out about Circus & Aerial Skills with Skylight Circus Arts -  try out a Wushu (martial arts) workshop teaching Chinese Children’s Boxing with Peter   -  join in a Contemporary and Street Dance workshop with Sue  -  enjoy BMX Biking or try out Skateboard Skills with Team Extreme.

The Black-E bouncy balloon will be there every day for those with energy left to spare   -   while for those who fancy quieter activities there will be Chinese arts & crafts workshops  -  and also Film-Making workshops.

Running through all these activities will also be the theme of “The 43 Game” – a game to produce photos from all the workshops which have one thing in common -  they all feature the number 43. 

The summer programme will close with a Film Show and a Circus Performance which showcases what the young people have learned in the summer.
