ABOUT THE FACILITATORS

Since 2008 Asking for Trouble has been creating award winning, beautiful, ridiculous and highly engaging touring Circus/Physical Theatre works that integrate skills, images, stories and games into a fun and inspiring experience for children and their families. They have created and performed five original works including numerous regional, national and international tours.

Over the years, Christy and Luke have facilitated workshops and directed community performances/projects, including a series of projects where they live in Clunes featuring multiple school residencies, ‘In the Deep End’- a circus performance by a youth ensemble in/around community swimming pools and Art Attack a two year program of activities co-designed with young people.

(They're also just super cool and lovely humans - come meet them!)
