Community Outreach
Reach
A community outreach programme for children and young people aged 7-18, offering on-site once-off workshops that introduce participants to the world of circus arts, inspire creativity, and build confidence.
The programme also includes off-site roadshows performed by Zip Zap’s full-time students, exposing young people to the transformative power of circus arts and the potential career opportunities it can offer.
Social Challenge
Unemployment in South Africa is high, and many youths face the challenge of not having the funds to study, or simply not knowing the type of work they would like to do in the future.
Programme Goal
To give disadvantaged children in South Africa the opportunity to learn about the circus arts – as an art form, as an extra mural activity and the job opportunities it creates.
2025 Programme Impact
The Reach Programme delivered high-energy circus workshops, introducing young people to acrobatics, aerials, juggling, flexibility and teamwork. The programme aims to inspire confidence, creativity and self-belief while expanding access to the arts and exposing participants to professional circus pathways.
Learners showed strong growth in coordination, teamwork and confidence, with many discovering new talents and interests.
