Roundabout Circus will present Dreambound, a spellbinding youth circus theatre production, in Gosford from August 24-25.
The first show to be held at the group’s new location in Showground Rd will invite the audience to explore the depths of the human spirit through the vivid tapestry of dreams.
Dreambound explores and celebrates courage, creativity and authenticity.
Each act unfolds a different facet of who we are, from the monotonous grind of daily life to the surreal and whimsical realms of sleep.
With breathtaking acrobatics, enchanting visual storytelling, and poignant silent messages, Dreambound reveals that it’s not what we do, but who we are that truly defines us.
Dreambound features young performers whose ages span from nine to 19.
It will include aerial performances, acrobatics, fire spinning, unicycles and more.
The show explores dream themes such as flying, toys coming to life, even the boogie man!
With guest creative direction and skill workshops from esteemed Australian circus artists such as Brandon Roy acrobatics, Jake Silvestro of Flying Fruit Flies, Lillian Tulloch of Beezwax and Bottlecaps and Alicia Clownzalez from The Clown Institute, it’s a show not to be missed.
The group’s new training venue turned stage has a full 6m tall rig installation that allows for multiple aerial apparatus, custom lighting and tiered seating (sponsored by Prestige Party Hire) so everyone can enjoy the show.
Roundabout co-Founder and director Rachel Peters said opening the show would see her dreams realised as well.
“I am so proud of all of our performers for the hard work and dedication they have shown throughout this production,” she said.
“It has been incredible to work collaboratively with the students so that their creative genius and skills shine through and it will be a dream come true to have a full house in our new studio to celebrate these talented kids.”
