New Christmas Circus will be bringing excitement & laughter to people in the Grantham area
Local Lincolnshire Circus Producer & Performer, Nikkiita Luna, is staging an exciting and ambitious project this December, by creating and developing a brand new community circus show!
It will be premiered in the village of Leadenham, Lincolnshire. The troupe will be made up from a wide cross section of skilled professional circus performance artistes from all over the UK.
Nikkiita will also be performing during the show as an aerial artist with a very old act known as the “Skywalk”. Nikkiita has a wealth of performance & circus experience; she has developed her skills continually throughout her career enabling her to bring Circus Starlight to life.
She told GM: “I trained as a ballerina, then contemporary dancer; I’ve created and performed in hundreds of shows across the UK, Greece and France.”
“Since 2017 I toured seasonally with four different UK traditional circuses and then moved to Australia to be with Webers Circus but was sent home because of the pandemic.”
As a result she began developing a Covid safe show, which premiered as Circus Pandemonium last August in the George Hotel garden, to rave reviews and sold out shows!
“Due to the continued lockdown in across the country, we haven’t been able to open again, however this has given us time to develop the ethos of the show and start working in earnest to bring something truly spectacular to the area by Christmas 2021”.
The show consists of an exhilarating array of speciality acts, magic, illusions, clowning, aerial acts, bubble spectaculars and more! Aimed at children and their families & education providers, themed with a story, to teach children the moral of fun, happiness, and familiy togetherness through the magic of circus, it will use the pandemic as a point of reference.
The show will be a safe space for families and schools with young children to come together and feel connected to the wider world again, in a safe and clean environment that sits within the UK guidelines.
The circus facility will also be offering local schools & performing arts provisions to partake in Circus workshops and performance opportunities, during its stay in the Village. If you would like your school to take part, please contact Nikkiita at circusstarlight@outlook.com
The fundraising for the show is going well, with an application going into the Arts Council, with the hopes of finding enough support to help them get everything they need to set up a covid-safe environment! You can donate too, through the Sponsor A Bead Campaign on their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/circusstarlight and keep up to date with all the exciting developments.
The Circus will be setting down on the Playing Field in Leadenham, in Lincolnshire and performances will commence on December 8th and will run until 24th December 2021. Tickets will be available online and key local agents from July 2021.
