Mid week each individual will choose their own focus for the showcase. Some will choose to create an act, others will choose to focus on costumes, makeup, music, or something else! Each show is entirely new and unique depending on the interest of the kiddos. We physically explore how with discipline, patience, courage and collaboration, we can make the seemingly impossible POSSIBLE.
What is Social Circus?
To use the performance and teaching of circus arts to create alternative spaces in which we can experience ourselves connected, powerful, and free. Free of attitudes, beliefs and habits that do not serve us and provoking the development of healthy ones that support social transformation at the individual, group, community, regional and global level. Every moment of our day and every interaction is rooted in this vision.
Participants will build and experience trust as they support each other in human pyramids. They build confidence as they face fears in a supportive environment and are often surprised by what their bodies can do. They build communication skills as they navigate situations of risk with their peers. They build community as they work together on a presentation in which each and every person shines.
