Kim has been at The Meadows School with Zoe from over the past couple of weeks... ✨️

Some of the feedback they've received from staff and parents alike has been truly amazing:

“when you sang it’s the first time she’s opened her eyes and kept them open for longer than ten seconds - all week!”

Always such a privelige to be involved in incredible projects like this... and such joyfull proof that we always act in line with our ethos of 'every body is a circus body'! 🙌

July is - and just like every month here at WMCC, we'll shout it from the roof tops: ⬇️

EVERY body is a circus body. We're on a mission year-round to make circus arts as accessible as possible to everyone. Whether your disability is physical or not, if you have sensory issues or are neurodivergent, if your disability is invisible or undiagnosed...

We're passionate about working with you, meeting you where you're at as an individual and helping you reach YOUR goals.

From our Project - specifically working with young people with learning difficulties and/or hearing and visual impairments - to our SEND classes and workshops in schools... this is something we're ALWAYS proud to champion. We're just happy there's a month dedicated to it, too! 🎉

Image description: A photo of one of our Make Me Visible Project participants, a young man with learning difficulties. He is sat comfortablly in green silks, like a hammock, smiling broadly and genuinely. Both of his hands give a confident "thumbs up" to the camera. Other participants can be seen resting and chatting in the line of chairs behind him. A clip-art illustration of the Disability Pride flag is placed in the bottom left corner of the image, and next to that, all-white text reads: "EVERY BODY IS A CIRCUS BODY. Disability Pride Month."

Image description: the photo is taken of the big rig area at West Mudlands Circus Centre. The wooden doors frame either side of the image, and through the gap in the middle we can see two young aerialists training on aerial hoops. They are both mid-air, the girl at the front hangs upside down - stretching towards the blue crash mat beneath her - whilst the girl behind her sits inside her hoop, arms carefully raised above her head. The dance mirror at the very back of the room reflects a third aerialist in action, who cannot otherwise be seen within the frame.
