From 7.30pm juggling, dazzling aerial routines, whip cracking, knife throwing and clownish antics will be the order of the day, with tickets priced at £5.
Before that, from Saturday, August 16, the academy will be hosting three days of workshops with young people from the theatres’ Make the Move and Movez Maniax programmes
