Convention timetable:

Friday 12th November at 8pm (not part of the convention or The Circus Space, but adults might be interested in seeing it!)
Falos and Stercus in 'Mithologias do Cla' - a voiceless play fusing abseiling, pyrotechnics, aerialism, martial arts and dance. An adult show from Brazil featuring gratuitous nudity and simulated sex acts.
Venue: The People Show Studios, Pollard Row, E2 6NB £10 see www.workshopfestival.co.uk for booking details and also for workshops on stilts and masks, the can-can and nipple tassel twirling.

Saturday 13th November
11am Convention starts - workshops during day run by volunteers (please volunteer!), plus videos showing and trader(s).
4pm Combustion Chamber closes to prepare for show (good time to go and watch the Lord Mayor's Fireworks)
5pm Lord Mayor's fireworks. The display is fired from a barge moored on the Thames between Waterloo and Blackfriars bridges, so great views can be had from either of these, or from anywhere on the Embankment between the two. Find a good spot, dress warmly and prepare yourself for an unforgettable show.
7pm Bar opens
8pm The Circus Space Cabaret
The delightful and delectable Dave Pickens is our host for the evening. He's also one half of Swizzleshaker, who mix a dash of circus with a double measure of swing dance, topped with lashings of comedy in "Cocktails for Two".

There are two awesome aerial acts - the fantastic Ilona Jantti from Finland and, soaring above your heads on the Cloudswing, the startling Lucie Pasquier.

Meanwhile, in Bongo Bolero, the beautifully balanced Penny and Bernie redefine your expectations of a slick acrobatic act. Watch them and weep.

For an act with a difference, observe the pole play and diabolo finery of Bruce Wilson, and, finally, whatever else you choose to do, don't miss the dockyard antics of Hamburg's hula-hoop hero, Tigris.
10pm End of Saturday's events

Sunday 14th November
11am Convention continues with workshops (please volunteer!), videos and trader(s).
2pm Screening of classic circus clips
5.30pm Convention ends.

Max 200 places - book now on 020 7729 9522 (and there's a convention badge gimmick thing this year too, not just a mouldy bit of string!). Please note that the cabaret is on sale to the general public so early booking for the convention is recommended.
