It focuses on the core relationships of space, rhythm, and movement rather than complex tricks, using adapted tools like juggle boards for social connection, developing coordination, concentration, and creativity. It redefines juggling as a universal practice, allowing people of all abilities and ages to participate and connect through shared movement and sensory experiences, including using everyday objects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Open to all ages, with a max group of 12 per workshop. Free, but registration via Castlerea Library required. Taught by Circus Artist Cormac Mohally.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":40505,"template":"","class_list":["post-40504","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Circus Taster Workshops - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"World Circus Day is Rolling into Roscommon!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/circus-taster-workshops\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Circus Taster Workshops - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"World Circus Day is Rolling into Roscommon!!!!
