Welcome CIP Show Success This year's Circus in Performance (CIP) end of course show was a great success. Titled 'Points of Departure' and directed by Jerry Flanagan, the show explored the theme of 'departure' through the student's various acts. The ten young people on the Greentop course came from all over the UK to learn the foundations of circus in January and studied full time for three months. The learned a wide range of skills and techniques including juggling, tightwire, clowning, dance, acrobatics and voice work. The show ran for two nights and was sold out each night. Now the course has finished, Greentop is looking at ways to provide career progression support to the students, both in terms of work experience, business suport and advice and further training. A full review and photos of the show will be published on the greentop website soon. If anyone is interested in applying for next year's CIP course, they should contact Greentop at administration@greentop.org or call 0114 2448828. Transform

Caroline Veal, who recently stepped down as Greentop's chief fund raiser to become a Trustee of the charity, has found herself the focus of local media interest. She was interviewed by the Sheffield Telegraph before the recent CIP show and pictured with some of the students. It is a great article and really does her justice. It can be viewed at the Sheffield Telegraph's website. Caroline will also be interviewed on BBC Radio Sheffield on the Rony Robinson show on the 11th of May between 2pm and 3pm.
