Circus Skills Workshop

The Circus Skills Workshop is a new addition to Stephen's repertoire for 2009. It includes many unique activities only available from him.

The workshop begins with a brief demonstration of all the skills on offer, along with a introductory lesson on how to perform that particular skill.

The different skills are then placed at particular locations around the room, as stations.  

The children are then divided into groups and sent to a station where they attempt one of the activities. After a short duration, they move around the room to the next station where they try the next skill.

Once all the skills have been attempted, the children return to the front and those children that would like to demonstrate their talents can do so before the audience.

Depending on the skill level and age of the children, additional skills may be added and the process is repeated, giving the children a second chance at the activities, along with some new ones.

The session is then ended with a group teaching activity such as maic or balloon Modelling.

Skills include:

• Plate Spinning

• Juggling Silks

• Juggling Balls

• Juggling Hoops

• Trick-Stick

• Diablo

• Hula Hoops

• Yo Yo's

• Stilt Walking

• Balloon Modelling

• Straight Jacket Escape

The best skills will be selected for your event depending on ceiling height, amount of space, severity of wind, age of the children, number of participants etc.  

Circus Skills Workshop do require space to practice in, and are only suitable for village halls, gardens etc. It will also help the children if some tables are available.  

The majority of the activities are only suitable for children aged 5 and over.
