Community Programme Gugs Rising

Gugs Rising is Zip Zap’s new circus and performing arts programme at Bonga Primary in Gugulethu, created specifically for school-going children.

Running every Wednesday from 13:30–16:00, the programme introduces learners to the world of circus through basic acrobatics, partner work, pyramids, object manipulation, and creative movement.

With two age groups and two learning cohorts per semester (Quarter 1–2 and Quarter 3–4), the programme offers consistent, hands-on training with a maximum of 20 learners per session. All equipment is stored on site, and sessions are facilitated by experienced, independent Zip Zap sessional coaches.
