On August 4th, the town hall will come alive with trees and wheelbarrows as the Rock Bottom Kids Circus Theater Show rolls out for the first time. Thanks to a grant, this family-friendly event promises an original and unique show that humorously explores some of life’s struggles: big tasks, boundaries, and staying calm through it all.
This solo show was developed with the help of Creative New Zealand, the Raglan Old School Arts Centre, and a wonderful team including Thom Monckton (Creative Director), Dr. Jeremy Mayall (Sound Design), and Hayley Robertson (Set Design). Nic, the show’s creator, aims to tour primary schools and community centers with this production.
The show humorously tackles the pressures of life in a backyard setting, where ‘Doug’ and his wheelbarrow face many challenges from his boss. In the end, Doug’s real challenge is learning to calm his mind and ask for what he needs.
“A very important ingredient for clowning is an audience!” says Nic. “After playing around in a room by myself for so long, it is finally time to test this show out and see what works!”
Come join in the fun at the Raglan Town Hall on August 4th at 1 PM (Koha). Intended for kids aged 4-9 (But all ages welcome!). For more information, visit www.blacksheepcircus.co.nz/rockbottom or call 021 022 91038.
