Dragonfly Outreach - Bidyadanga June-July 2025

The circus returned to Bidyadanga’s La Grange Remote Community School for the fourth consecutive year with a two-week residency led by Will Tredinnick and Bunbury circus dynamos Isaac Salter and Michèle Lainé. Michèle, an aerialist with over 30 years of international performance and teaching experience, also offered an exciting afterschool aerials class for staff! These hard working teachers loved it! In remote communities, it’s not only kids who can suffer from limited opportunities and boredom.

The finale evening show at the Women’s Centre was a great success, with the arrival from Broome of face paint, theatre lights and curtains meeting the rush of kids’ energy! Students impressed audiences with hula hoops, plate spinning, tumbling and stilt walking, but as usual, the minitramp was the favourite on the night. Even babies and pups couldn’t be kept offstage!
