Zombies, ghouls, and ghosts took centre stage at the East Sussex School of Circus Arts for two sold-out Halloween fright nights. The Hailsham-based school saw students defy gravity and perform chilling acts in the Big Top tent. Renato Pires, owner of the school, said: "Our two Halloween Circus evenings were great successes – both were sold-out shows.
"The ESSCA students skilfully transformed into a cast of devilish creatures – demonic clowns, ghostly spectres, ghouls, zombies - and even Wednesday Addams made an appearance." The school's students opened the evening with a "jaw-dropping number", reminiscent of a Cirque du Soleil piece. The Mayor of Hailsham, Councillor Paul Holbrook, even participated in a comedy skit with 18-year-old Jada Lynch, who played the role of the Circus Clown.
Renato added: "All the ESSCA students gave 110 per cent. "They all spent every moment they could rehearsing and polishing their routines and performances. "Their timing, skills and everything they brought to the Circus Ring over the two nights was outstanding.
"I am so proud of each and every one of them.".
