Costumes and make up are OPTIONAL.

You don’t have to have a costume; you will not be penalised if you perform in training gear.

If you would like to wear a costume, you will need to organise your own.

The Circus Spot has a limited number of costumes that can be borrowed for a non-refundable hire fee of $20. A security deposit of $50 is required, which will be refunded when the costume is returned cleaned and in good condition. All hired costumes are to not leave the training space and will be stored in the costume room with your name tagged on them

You will be required to rehearse in your costume leading up to the performance, so please organise this early.

The schedule will be announced after registration is closed. But you need to be available on both days when you register.
