A new circus act in Hailsham left spectators wanting more after showcasing a number of jaw-dropping stunts.

I attended East Sussex School of Circus Arts (ESSCA) for the Acting Moon Circus show on Wednesday, August 18.

While approaching the venue you are instantly immersed in the performance as a woman on stilts greets you in the carpark.

As the show begins viewers are treated to a bombardment of talented performers with a number of skills including tightrope-walking, walking on exercise balls and balancing a ladder on their chin.

ESSCA consists of performers from a range of exotic regions of the world including Brazil, Chile, Barcelona and Hailsham.

The performers are introduced to the crowd by the ringmaster who uses light-hearted humour to present his team.
