Imagine…
Earlier this year aspiring professional circus performer Tabitha, was successful in her application for a grant to help her fund a pre-professional training course.
Tabitha’s mum, Veronica, has been in touch with a thank you and update on Tabitha’s progress. She told us: “Tabitha is currently doing about 8.5 hours a week circus work with a mix of acrobatics/aerial/equilibristics/trampolining and handstands and strengthening. She has been undertaking some assessments and goal planning as well as conversations about which universities to go on to that may best suit her skills. Tabitha has decided to choose ‘aerial hammock’, ‘trampolining’ and ‘rola bola’ as the specialities to focus on at the pre-pro course but will be working on other skills too, including the creative side/stage management/equipment set up/rigging etc.
“We think The Rob George Foundation is a fantastic charity. They do so much in supporting young people with chronic/terminal illness and young people with sporting and performing arts ambitions. We already know that Tabitha is benefitting from her grant towards her circus ambitions. We hope that the RGF continues to gain recognition and funding so that they can continue to support young people and their families.”
The Rob George Foundation is thrilled to see Tabitha making such great progress in her training. We wish Tabitha all the best as she continues to develop her skills, and we’re delighted to be part of her story.
