Nutmeg: Circus workshop facilitator
Empowering students to dream big and never give up!
Nutmeg Circus is all about access and inclusion; in a world where so many of us face accessibility restrictions, it's her mission to make sure we are all able to participate and enjoy ourselves.
Nutmeg's circus workshops are designed to inspire creativity and build confidence in participants of all ages and all bodies.
Nutmeg teaches her workshops to children and young people, but also facilitates workshops for professional artists, circus performers, fitness enthusiasts, healers and anyone else interested in running away with the circus!
We learn a lot more than circus tricks; we learn about determination, perserverance, self belief, team work, safety and collaboration!
ACCESSIBILITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
Training and certifications
Nutmeg completed a 6 week training on methodologies to be more inclusive as a hula hoop facilitator with the amazing HulaHoop Integral in 2025
Nutmeg also completed an intensive day course called "This Space Is For You" on diversity, accessibility and inclusion with CircusWorks in 2023

With more than 10 years experience as a professional hula hooper, she has a bank of knowledge to draw from.
Nutmeg has a unique performance style that crosses with dance and clowning, traditional skills such as multi hooping (with up to 8 hoops!), developing a large "trick-tionary" including balance tricks and flow art!
Nutmeg hoops with lots of children around the world, but also teaches to other circus performers, dancers, movers, fitness enthusiasts... or anyone else seeking the mad and magical movement medicine of hula hoop!
Nutmeg has been lucky enough to teach hoop workshops in the UK, Portugal, Germany, France, The Netherlands, Poland, Bosnia and The Philippines

More and more people are interested in clowning these days! While it's guaranteed to be a success at children's parties, clowning also extends far beyond that and appeals to the inner child within all of us.
Nutmeg is frequently invited to festivals, wellness retreats and even birthday parties for adults! Nutmeg has the pleasure of facilitating clowning workshops to other performance artists, creatives, healers, dreamers and very silly people of all shapes and sizes.
