About the project: See Saw is a sensory circus collaboration, developed between Reallynice, a team of freelance performers and creatives, and the learners and teachers at Cherry Garden School, Peckham. Harnessing innovative circus equipment, together we have designed a circus experience intended to be enjoyed and explored predominantly by young people labelled as having complex needs and their teachers and/or carers, playing with the theme of balance through difference. See Saw offers young people a participatory sensory circus space indoors and outdoors, filled with a flexible mythical storytelling adventure that gives us all the ability to bounce, swing, play and shout along with two siblings that live behind the sun. With a new round of support from Arts Council England, Reallynice will be realising their creative designs for the project at a creative residency at 101 Outdoor Arts in Newbury, before presenting preview performances in Stoke-on-Trent and Woolwich.
