Day 1 – Circus Monoxide Trapeze Workshop

I had a half an hour break in which there was a free lunch in the greenroom for all staff and volunteers.

I then went back to the info booth where they gave me new sheets and information on the next workshop I was doing, which was the clipboard for the Circus Monoxide Trapeze Workshop.

This workshop was just in front of the Magic Makeover tent I was working at in the morning.

I went over to the trapeze and met with Wazza who was the ‘teacher’ for the workshop that afternoon.

In this workshop I was doing the same thing. This one was only a ticketed event though, and we had sold out for the day. This time there was no line though, I had to walk around and find the kids that were doing the workshop. I would find them, make sure they had the right time on their ticket, give them a name tag (if they didn’t already have one), make sure it was ok if their photo was used and ushered them to sit and wait for Wazza.

As the trapeze was in an open area, as well as also keeping a tally on the children participating and children/adults observing I had to make sure that other children did not climb on the mat, as they might get hurt. I also had to make sure that Wazza was teaching the kids whom had a ticket as other children tried to sneak into the workshop.

This workshop and my day finished at 4:30pm. At this time I signed off the clip board and took it back to the info booth where I handed back my lanyard and signed out for the day.
