Yes, we know you’ve been looking forward to this weekend since March. You were there… and you know you can’t miss it.

Yes, you are new in our “colla” but you heard so many great things about our last summer camp that you are now too curious… and you know you can’t miss it.

Yes, after all the effort we put to have an amazing Diada performance and a great Human Towers Fest (did we mention it was an amazing success?) it’s time to have FUN! … Yes, we all know we can’t miss it.

So make sure that you book your spot before it’s too late!

Watch this video: we know you’ll join us!!

This weekend, Castellers de Sydney have opened their doors to all Sydney citizens. Our idea was to bring to our neighbours the Catalan tradition of human towers and share with them our passion… and it worked!

Actually, the event had a turnout that even exceeded our expectations! This Saturday, more than 120 Sydney citizens came to the Gure Txoko, enjoyed the exhibition, learnt about human towers, their origins, attire, music and terminology. They also got the chance to experience first hand the thrill of taking part in a human tower, either participating in our workshop or as part of the pinya during our performance. They could talk to our castellers, who enthusiastically explained them their experience in our colla, and they also even got a virtual reality experience. And last, but not least, they could enjoy a delicious paella! What else could they ask for?

After all the positive feedback that we got (and the new castellers that we met there!) we can definitely say that all these crazy weeks of effort have paid off! On behalf of the Junta, we would like to thank you everyone who made it possible. So thanks…

• Videomakers for making excellent videos and flyers and promotional posters
• “paella cooks” for cooking one of the best “paella” that Sydney has ever seen
• “pimp the place” team for designing and creating an outstanding exhibition
• “teachers” team for making sure that everybody could try for the first time (and for some not the last!) how it is to build a human tower
• “look at me” team for doing such an amazing job in media to promote the event
• “high-tech” teams for creating an amazing set up of human towers videos and even a virtual reality experience!

But what makes us really happy is that more than half of our colla was involved in the organisation of this event. We couldn’t be prouder of it. Yes, colla, you are the BEST AND IT WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOUR HELP!

And again, a HUGE THANKS to the Gure Txoko for letting us use their space and open the bar for us. We couldn’t be more grateful and we look forward to future projects together!
