Tea & Circus is our end of Term Student open stage night - where you can see what we've been cooking up in the studio! Like an open mic.... but make it circus...

And speaking of cooking we will also be heading straight into our Fire & Flow jam night afterwards, so while we start cooking up a post Tea and Circus BBQ for our dinners, our resident FLOWMIES will be heating things up in the fire circle.

Get ready to ignite your night with fire, light, and flow! Whether you’re a seasoned spinner, LED wizard, or just dipping your toes into the world of flow arts, this is your space to connect, create, and jam with an epic community of like-minded flowmies.

This Fire & Flow is happening right after our End of Term "Tea & Circus" Show so come early and check out some amazing student performances. There will be a BBQ too!

We’ll kick off with a Beginner’s Fire Safety Briefing at 7pm to cover the essentials for fire spinning, so if you’re new to spinning with fire, be sure to arrive on time. Then, the night is yours to flow—fire spinners, LED artists, and prop manipulators of all kinds are welcome!

Fire Safety Reminder: People wearing synthetics will not be allowed into the fire circle and will be restricted to LED only. Anyone new to our community MUST ATTEND the fire safety briefing, even if you are an experienced fire spinner. If you have done a fire safety briefing with us before, please just check in with the fire safety person on arrival.
^If you are bringing your own fuel to use we will only allow Firelight (Isopar G) or similar fire spinning fuel. No kerosene or other alternatives.
