A word from our Director
Lisa Wingfield
E hiamo ana ahau ki te whakaora mai i tēnei whetiwara i runga i te tautoko mai a ngā kura me ngā whakahaere maninirau o Ōtautahi.
He arawātea motuhake tēnei taiopenga mō te hunga maninirau taiohi ki te tūhono, ki te mahi tahi, me te tuari i ō rātou kaingākau, i te wā hoki o te tuitui i ngā hononga mauroa ka āki nei i ā rātou kauapa me ō rātou wawata mō te anamata.
Hui katoa, e whakarite ana mātou i tētahi wāhi e puāwai mai ai te auahatanga, ngā pūmanawa, me te hapori. E hīkaka ana ahau ki te kite he aha ka pahawa i ngā ringatoi taiohi nei.
As the Event Director, I am thrilled to be bringing this youth circus festival to life with the support of our incredible Ōtautahi circus schools and organisations.
This event will offer a unique opportunity for young circus enthusiasts to connect, collaborate, and share their passion, all while building lasting relationships that will help fuel their future projects and dreams.
Together, we’re creating a space where creativity, talent, and community can flourish, and I’m excited to see what this vibrant group of young artists will achieve.
