Life's A Playground

Circus • Children's
South Australia

Our playgrounds have become digital.
Our young people are able to connect more than ever, yet they often feel disconnected.
Watch as eight young performers decide to put their phones down and connect through PLAY. 

You don't need a thousand followers. 
You don't need hundreds of likes. 
You just need yourself and your imagination!

Then life really can be a playground... a place to have fun, take risks & explore!

Presented by: CircoBats

CircoBats is a not-for-profit organisation that was founded by the late Franky Charman-Green in 2008. CircoBats prides itself on being a female run and led entity. Both of Franky's daughters, Alex and Zoe Charman, continue to share their mother’s passion in circus and play a vital role in CircoBats classes, performances and general operations. Since 2009, CircoBats was lead by Head Trainer, Leanne Hamilton-Kinnear, and performed in various stages around Adelaide and beyond. In mid-2016, the position of Head Trainer was transferred to Alex Charman, as CircoBats dealt with the loss of its two beautiful performers, Caitlin Hamilton and Willow Hamilton. As of 2016, CircoBats decided to expand its size, and now offers an exciting range of classes for young, old and all ages in between.
