Workshops

Flea Circus Productions can run exciting and fun workshops at schools or any community event you are planning.  I offer art and craft activities, and more specifically workshops in costume, music, beatboxing, dance, performance and theatrics.  Workshops are tailored to suit different age groups and are ever-changing.  Facilitators are enthusiastic and experienced.  Facilitators have run workshops for various Council festivals including Joondalup, Fremantle, Cockburne, Busselton, Wanneroo, Kalamunda, Subiaco, Maylands, Cue’s QFest, at Whiteman Park, Fairbridge Festival, various schools eg John Curtin, Glengarry, Kewdale, and Goolillal, camps and more.  

Art & craft workshops ensure that participants have many opportunities for creativity and self-expression exploring a wide range of materials.  We provide as much support, assistance and encouragement to participants as possible.  Parents are encouraged to assist smaller children with their craft - an opportunity for parents to spend quality time with their children in a supportive and creative environment.   

Concepts and storylines can be developed with participant involvement.  Thematic costumes can be made, and music, choreography and theatrics can be devised to create a complete performance for a stage show or parade.  This is a fantastic activity for schools, councils, youth and community groups or any other event with a performance element.

Screen Printing

We create our own screen-printing designs and use contemporary screen printing techniques, making it a fun and inclusive workshop for both children and youths.  If a couple of workshops are held, children can produce their own designs in the first workshop, then print them in the second.

Recycled Implement Printing

A fabulous assortment of widgets and gadgets are used as printing tools.  Implements are dipped in coloured paint and then stamped onto cloth bandanas.  With a variety of implements and colours, they can create wild and totally unique patterns, image scapes and even complex mandalas.

Carnival Masks

Exotic and colourful masks are created using a variety of textiles and decorative materials.  Always a fun activity suitable for smaller children.

Wands and Totems

Participants use felting techniques to make  their own brightly coloured wool dreadlocks.  They are adhered to hair clips or elastics.  Great for youths and adolescents! 

Felt hats, accessories and bags can also be made.

Decorative Tea Light Lanterns

Tea light candles are constructed using cane, wire and paper to support a tea candle.  Ideal for children from 12 upward who enjoy a challenge.  Lanterns can be decorated with images, Chinese/Japanese symbols of peace, love etc or they can become 'resolution lanterns' where wishes and resolutions can be written on them.

Cane/Paper Mache Sculptures, Puppets, Pinatas and Floats

Due to the various stages involved in production, this is a great activity for a series of workshops (minimum two for simple structures).  Involves design and construction elements, then focuses on aesthetics in finishing the piece.  Again, no limits but the imagination.

Mostly recycled materials are used in these workshops enabling participants
to create vibrant and colourful costumes.

Great for events working with specific themes and fun parades where
children can show off their costumes. 
Can be tailored to suit all ages.
