Overview
Presented by AirCraft Circus and directed and choreographed by Lucy Francis, Spooky Circus explores the darker, stranger side of contemporary circus. It is part of Woolwich Works’ half-term and Halloween programme and gives Greenwich families and local audiences something rather different from the usual pumpkin trail or scare attraction.
What to Expect
The current programme includes aerial silks, aerial hoop, straps, quad trapeze, contortion and balance, building towards a fiery finale. Woolwich Works describes the performance as eerie and extraordinary rather than a traditional horror show.
