Flying High Friends aren’t Clowning Around

An inclusive circus company specialising in workshops and experiences for children and adults with additional needs is seeking to expand its services.

Founded earlier this year by long-time friends Cindy Downey and Rosa Iddon Cooper, (pictured above) Circable delivers mobile circus workshops, performances and wellbeing sessions designed to be accessible to people of all ages and abilities, including children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEN).

The company has already begun developing plans to widen access further through the purchase of a portable aerial rig suitable for people with limited mobility and wheelchair users.

The business was established following significant career changes for both founders, who combined their experience in education, care and performance to create Circable, with a focus on movement, creativity and wellbeing.

The company now delivers workshops in schools, care settings, community venues and private events throughout Suffolk, with sessions adapted to suit different physical and cognitive needs.

“We want the freedom to fly to be available to everyone who attends our sessions,” said Cindy.

“The portable rig would allow people with mobility issues, including wheelchair users, to take part in activities that are often not accessible to them.

“We are currently trying to raise £5,000 to make that possible and expand what we can offer.”

The founders say there is increasing demand for inclusive activities that combine physical movement with confidence building and social interaction, particularly for children and young people who may struggle to access traditional sports or performing arts programmes.

“Circable was created for everyone, and mobility is a major part of that,” said Rosa.

“We want people to be able to access the experience without limitations, regardless of where they are or the support they require.

“Our ethos has always been built around wellbeing and movement, particularly for children and individuals who may not normally have access to these kinds of activities.”
