PROGRAMS FOR SCHOOLS
A CIRCUS?
YOU'RE KIDDING ME!
—Diane Powell, Principal, Landry Middle School
“I can’t” becomes
“Look at me—I did it!”
Our after-school enrichment program uses circus arts to give students a team that needs them and something worth working for. We’ve watched students who were failing start making A’s. Teachers and parents tell us they see a different kid.
These could be your students—in your gym.
We bring a truckload of equipment and everything needed for the show: rigging, mats, costumes, a full circus set, and professional coaches—every one background-checked.
THE CIRCUS EXPERIENCE
HOW IT WORKS.
1. During the school day: Physical education classes give the entire student body a chance to experience circus arts.
2. After school: Every student who tries out gets a part—all abilities, including those with special needs. Students rehearse with our coaches and must keep up with their schoolwork to stay in the show.
3. The final performances: Your students star in a breathtaking circus production—and families and the community see them in a whole new light.
RESIDENCY FORMATS
A PROGRAM THAT FITS YOUR SCHOOL.
ONE WEEK
Ideal for schools of up to about 400 students.
TWO WEEKS
Ideal for schools of 400 or more, with tutoring for students who need academic help.
ADD-ON: FLYING TRAPEZE
Adds a third week to a two-week program.
A 32-foot-high outdoor flying trapeze for PE classes and the final performances. Students and teachers from across the school take flight—and the school buzzes: “Did you do it?” “Are you going to?”
Even grown-ups get butterflies.
“…a fun and educational experience for which a student could not be too fat, too thin, too short, too tall, too fast, too slow, too ANYTHING to participate.”
