Performers Without Borders

I am excited to announce I will be joining the Performers Without Borders Philippines tour in November. This year, Ethan is coming too!

As some of you may know, I was involved last year, and I am so excited to be heading back again to share my passion for circus with countless young people (actually PWB did count – you can read their impact report)

Whilst the tour was definitely challenging at times, it was overwhelming to see the effect circus has on these young people, the joy and energy it brings. We even saw the seed for an independent circus club start to grow in Bayawan City. I am extremely excited to return to the Philippines to continue teaching in the communities I met last year – and also extremely excited that Ethan will be joining, and we can share our duo performances.

Fundraising Events

We will be donating our time teaching circus and sharing performances with children and youth who otherwise would lack access to circus arts – as well as donating lots of equipment as we go so they can continue to develop their skills!

Whilst every effort has been made to keep costs down, there are still funds that need to be raised for the month long program delivery.
These are

$2050 AUD ($500GBP each) – which goes towards accommodation, transport between locations, food, and transport of donated workshop equipment to the Philippines (which stays with the local communities).
$1800 – our flight costs which we are hoping to raise funds towards.

Performers Without Borders is an amazing organisation which has shared the joy of circus in many under-priviledged communities around the world for many years. Ever since I first heard about the organisation 13 years ago it has been a dream to be involved. I am extremely passionate about the positive impact circus has on individual’s social, physical, mental, spiritual and community wellbeing and would love to be able to share this with others on the tour.

If you’d prefer to donate directly to PWB through their website you can do so, here.
