The next in this financial year’s quarterly socials at work takes us to Circomedia for a circus workshop. We did this last time a couple of years ago, so there’s a faint feeling of familiarity coming back to this old church (the high ceilings being perfect for the acrobatics). There is no cringey introductory perfomance this time - instead, we’re straight into a buffet lunch and onto the activities. Split into groups, we get to do some balance exercises (alas, this time I do not get to be the head of a human pyramid, but I am at least in the middle); some tightrope walking; some trapeze (no flinging ourselves from bar to bar, just some posing); and last but not least, some plate spinning. I manage it exactly once. I’m thrilled.
