December 9, 2021
Sunday, December 19. Get the date in your diary! It’s our community Christmas show and we can’t wait to see you there.
Come and join us for some impressive acts and a festive drink as we celebrate the talents of our amazing community members.
Co-founder Chris Moore said: “We’ve really missed being able to put on shows over the last couple of years and we’re excited to give our community members an opportunity to perform.”
The show will start at 6pm on Sunday, December 19 at Up Side Down Circus in Unit Two of the Cave Venture Workshops on Tremorfa Industrial Estate in Splott, Cardiff.
Community members have already signed up to perform on aerial hoop, Chinese pole, flying trapeze and silks.

Chris added: “Don’t feel like you need to be a pro to get involved! This is a chance to show off what you’ve been learning in class and practice working on a routine.”
Community member Romy Wood performed on aerial hoop at our birthday and Christmas shows in 2018. She said: “I loved performing. I felt as if we were sharing some of the magic. The audience are so supportive and the atmosphere is joyful.”
Aerial trainer Sam Smart added: “The community show is an excellent opportunity to get together with students from other classes and show what you've been working on. There's always a supportive and friendly atmosphere.”
If you’d like to perform, speak to your trainer and email chris@upsidedowncircus.co.uk by Sunday, December 12 with details of your music and which equipment you’d like to use.
