Events in the park featuring juggling, tightrope walking, and relaxation.
Does summer in the city have to be boring?
Do you have to drop everything and run away to the circus just to learn how to juggle or balance?
Finally, do you really need a circus ring to practice juggling and circus arts, or is... a picnic blanket enough?
The SOMA Foundation for Creative Activity are rushing to answer
these questions and are absolutely delighted to invite you to the HOLIDAY CIRCUS MEETUPS!!!
Meetups are part of the ZAMKOWY PROGRAM
SĄSIEDZKI (ZAMEK'S NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAMME) with carried out with the support of ZAMEK Culture Centre.
Until the
end of August, we will meet few times for a joint „skill & chill”— a mix of training and relaxation — in Poznań's Adam
Mickiewicz Park (the section along the park arena on the Aleje
Niepodległości side).
During the Meetups, the following will be waiting for you:
SLACKLINE ZONE: balancing lines stretched between trees— of various heights, lengths, and difficulty levels.
JUGGLING AND FLOW ZONE: a space for free training,
learning, and sharing experiences, where you can step into the world of
juggling and flow arts. You can learn selected circus skills (e.g.,
juggling or spinning poi), polish your technique, work on new tricks or
choreographies, meet the local juggling community, and exchange
knowledge. (Is there a trick you've always wanted to master? This is the
perfect opportunity to finally take that step!).
Circus props will be available for you on-site, including juggling balls, scarves, and clubs, poi sets, various types of staff, diabolo, and spinning plates.

During five of the scheduled events, in addition to open training, the
juggling zone will feature WORKSHOPS—a series of structured
classes in selected juggling and circus fields led by guest instructors
we have invited (details below).
RELAXATION ZONE: blankets, drinks, snacks, conversations... and you!
When heading to the MEETUPS, bring a blanket, something to drink, and some snacks—after all, „active rest” is still rest!
In the SLACKLINE and JUGGLING zones, you can count on help, advice, and even challenges from Facilitators!

#wedescribing
A checkered blanket is spread out on the grass, with a picnic basket on
top of it. Sticking out of the basket are, among other things, colorful
juggling balls and juggling clubs. In front of the basket lie other
juggling props, such as a blue-and-yellow diabolo and more juggling
balls. In the background, on a vast lawn surrounded by trees, you can
see the blurred silhouettes of people engaged in various circus
activities. Superimposed on the image above is the white text “ZAMKOWY
PROGRAM SĄSIEDZKI,” the event name “Wakacyjne spotkania cyrkowe:
kuglarstwo - slackline - relaks,” as well as the organizers’ logos.
