Whether you're a bit of a big kid, or in fact an actual kid, expect a whole load of fun during one week in July.

Baycourt Community and Arts Centre is hosting a week jam-packed with some weird and some wonderful workshops for Kids Week.

'There really is something for everyone of all ages, including an evening acrobatic workshop just for the mums and dads,” says Baycourt manager Megan Peacock-Coyle.

Auckland-based circus theatre company, The Dust Palace, is putting on workshops. Eve Gordon co-directs the group as well as performing herself. She says there will be workshops for everyone.

Prepare to go home with some new skills you never thought you'd have.

'We'll be covering various aerial skills in the workshops, which is super exciting. And we'll be covering flexibility and stretching, contortion, hand balance and acrobatics.

'They'll get a taste of everything. For the adult workshops we focus on fitness and strength, and more fun and games for the kids.”

The Dust Palace is also squeezing in performances of their own show ‘Top of the Heap'. Expect an interesting performance based around furniture, an island, circus skills and slapstick humour.

The group hasn't yet been to Tauranga to perform and is looking forward to it.

'We have been wanting an opportunity to bring a show down to Tauranga for ages but we haven't managed it yet so we're so, so excited,” says Eve.

‘Building Block Buddies', will be performed by new theatre company Lightning Tree Productions towards the end of the week. The show is perfect for the little ones and packed with sing-along songs for everyone.

For anyone from eight to 18 and has an eye for film, Friday is filmmaking workshop day so move over Sir Peter Jackson as the next generation will be learning the tricks of the trade, from script writing to post-production.

Baycourt presents Kids Week from July 18-22. Tickets are available from Ticketek.
