Under the auspices of Health Arts Society, Tickle Trunk Touring Circus will launch its production, "Chuckles"in August. Tickle Trunk's troupe of professional circus artists will incorporate aerial work, acrobatics juggling and music to tell the story of a clown who has lost his laughter but regains it through interaction with his companions. The circus will be presented to audiences of all ages in open air locations, at health care sites in the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island in the summer of 2009.
