We are really getting the hang of it. Brilliant research trip - nothing was stolen.

🎉The unstoppable @billystaddon21 has been offered at place at @nationalcircus .
We first met Billy in North Devon for our initial R&D for Sand in 2023. The amazing @cazmakethemove arranged workshops with us that Billy attended.
Since then he has firmly been entrenched in the Kook Team. He observed rehearsals and had experience placements for both Filibuster, Sand and most recently for @zirkusmorsa .
We are incredibly proud and looking forward to seeing him continue to thrive on this circus journey! 🙌🎉🤩
Go Billy! 🤗
