We offer brilliant schools circus workshops packages for primary schools, pre-schools and nurseries.
With over 15 years experience working with children, we have developed processes to teach children circus skills in a fun way, whilst also building resilience and confidence in their ability to overcome new challenges. See our blog for more on this.
”Just to say a massive thank you for all your with the children the past 2 days. It has been an amazing experience for them all. Everyone (including staff) has learnt new skills. We have had really positive feedback from parents too.
Old Sodbury Primary School
Why not extend the theme across the whole school for that week or that term? We have lesson plans and a list of suggested related activities for your classes e.g. History of circus, Maths of rigging a big top, and some fun crafting activities for the different age groups.
With our full week package, you have educational assemblies, comprehensive workshops every day for each age group, a show and tell opportunity for the parents to see what the children have been doing, and a finale circus spectacular show.
These sessions are carefully planned to provide victories throughout the session whilst catering to a range of abilities with a group. Children who sometimes struggle with team sports often thrive with circus skills as a solo activity with a set methodology.
Schools circus workshops are either 45 mins or one hour sessions with each age group. Over two days or a full week we are able to take them further than just the very basic skills – which is always very satisfying.
We can offer assembly shows. These are a combination of informative talks about circus and displays of skill to get the children excited.
We offer a chance for the children to present some of their new skills in a mini show-and-tell towards the end of our visit – it is really nice for them to have a performance opportunity as part of a circus workshop.
This is a 2-person 50 minute show performed in big tops, festivals and theatres (performed in 2019 at the Wells Theatre Festival). It features Marky Jay and Loz Because – Bristol’s premiere children’s entertainers and world class circus performers – performing juggling, hula-hooping, diabolo, puppetry and lots of fun and games!
See Mark’s show, and Loz’s show!
