Circus Box Interactive presents
An introduction to CircusBox and Doctor Colin and a description of what we can offer your event.
DOCTOR COLIN presents his own style of slapstick performance with "Pandemonium" a fast and furious show which is enjoyed by all ages.
Laugh as his wayward suitcase takes on a life of its own, scream as he balances bigger and bigger objects on his chin, be dazzled by his diabolical diabolo and wonder as he wobbles on to his one wheel finale.
"Doctor Colin in Pandemonium" is an interactive audience participation show suitable for all ages. The performance lasts 45 minutes approx. but can be cut to 30 minutes or extended to 60 minutes if requested at time of booking.
Doctor Colin can also provide walk about entertainment such as: mini street shows, balloon modeling, trick cycling, fire-eating(not blowing), or clown mix'n'mingle.
Experience The Circus Box Workshops.
In a fun and safe environment the participants will have the chance to try their hand (or feet) at some of the skills of the circus (see list below). This encourages team work, co-ordination, balance and concentration but most of all FUN!
Workshops are available for children of all ages and abilities.
Structured workshops. We can cater for between 15 and 100 participants at any one time, from 20 min taster sessions to day long and week workshops culminating with a performance by the participants.
Circus Badge workshops especially designed for Brownies and Guides.
Drop in workshops. Where you can come and go as you please.
With a full range of circus equipment and tutors on hand we can cater for up to 250 participants at any one time.
Skills on offer. Plate spinning, juggling (balls, rings, clubs, scarves), pedal-go balance toys, diabolo, tightrope walking, devilsticks, stilt walking, unicycling, clowning, staff turning, performance skills, prop making and more.
Workshops can be held inside or out and if held on a good sized grassy area can be marked with our Little Big Top, a colourful 20 ft. pole with strings of bunting which gives the effect of a Circus Top without the canvas. This is the perfect space for the workshops and performances to be held in, and we can keep the equipment within the surrounding area. Area needed 60 x 60ft min.
Circus Box Workshops are ideal for Schools, Arts centres, Youth clubs, Drama and Theatre groups, Parties, Fetes, Carnivals, Festivals or just about any public or private function.

“Dear Greg thankyou for giving up so much of your time to perform at Buckingham Palace recently. Your splendid and amusing acting made all the difference for me…you provided a remarkable spectacle on arrival and everyone was greatly impressed. This brings you my very best wishes and heartfelt appreciation.” Yours most gratefully H.R.H Prince Charles.
