Tailored Workshops for Aged Care Entertainment | Hoop Sparx

TAILOR MADE WORKSHOPS

Our circus, art, craft and magic workshops can be tailored for your residents. We bring a swag of circus toys to play with such as hula hoops, juggling balls and scarves, poi, spinning plates, flower sticks, diablo, giant jenga and giant bubbles! Activities can be adapted to suit different mobility levels with many props working beautifully in a seated setting. There is so much fun to be had.

Circus workshops are a fantastic, inclusive, highly adaptable way to keep moving, and are beneficial for both physical and mental well-being. They spark laughter and encourage play, and will have your residents giggling like kids again!

Workshops encourage:

Movement and coordination
Neuroplasticity and mental stimulation
Social connection and engagement
Laughter, confidence, and fun

PLAYSPACES

A playspace is a vibrant, welcoming area filled with a range of circus props that residents can explore at their own pace – with the support of a friendly, playful facilitator of course! Think hula hoops spinning, bubbles floating, juggling scarves drifting through the air…accompanied with plenty of laughter.

Unlike a workshop, a playspace isn’t structured. Residents can come and go, try things out, stay for as long or as little as they like, focus only on the prop/s that fascinate them the most, or simply enjoy watching the fun. Our costumed, energetic, fabulous facilitator will be actively encouraging, demonstrating, and celebrating every little success.

Circus activities boost neuroplasticity, encourage connection, and create opportunities for residents to learn from one another.

A playspace is an easy going way to bring movement, creativity, and joy into the every day. Playspaces are also a great activity to include in Open Day programming or Family Day events.

Roving Circus Performers | Hoop Sparx - Circus Entertainment

ROVING PERFORMERS

Roving performers bring bursts of fun and surprise wherever they go. With no need for a seated audience, roving performers are a perfect addition to programmed events or day-to-day activities. They wander through lounges, gardens, hallways and common spaces, creating magical moments along the way.

Residents might find themselves laughing with a playful juggler, reaching out to catch a floating bubble, holding a stick with a plate spinning on top, or doing a hoopy handshake with a hypnotic hula hooper. It’s interactive, light-hearted, and designed to liven things up and brighten the atmosphere.

Roving entertainment works beautifully for open days, special occasions, or simply adding a spark of joy to every day life in your facility.

STAGE ACTS

When you want to make an event of it, or have a seated audience you want to entertain, our stage acts bring the wow factor. From dazzling hula hoop routines to gravity-defying acrobatics, magic, juggling, or belly dance, our performers know how to capture attention and delight an audience.

Choose from solo, duo, or group acts ranging from 5-40 minutes.

Please note that premium options like LED or Fire shows are also available on request. These acts incur higher fees and may not always be suitable for aged care settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a workshop and a playspace?

Workshops are structured from beginning to end with everyone working on similar things and/or with similar props at any given time. The main focus is on skill-building and they include group games, solo and group learning, and the opportunity for one-on-one support.

Playspaces are more casual, drop-in style experiences where people explore props at their own pace with the support of the facilitator and are often all doing different things to one another based on what captures their attention.

What’s the difference between roving and stage shows?

Roving performers move throughout the space, engaging with guests one-on-one or in small groups. They are not the main focus/main event. Stage acts (aka stage shows) are static performances designed specifically for a seated audience and are a more pricey option.
