As Solo Circus I provide quality, well planned circus skills workshops for primary schools, secondary schools and youth groups nationwide.

However many children you have at your school there is always a way to schedule a day or week so that everyone has some fun and gets to learn some circus skills in a positive, enjoyable and safe environment.

Circus skills workshops are always a great addition to the school day for pupils and teachers. As part of a health week to encourage exercise or as part of a P.E. lesson, there is always chance for teachers and assistants to have some quality time bonding with pupils doing a really fun and constructive activity. Circus skills workshops are also a great activity for weekend boarders or as a treat for a class/year or even whole school!

How circus skills sessions are run in schools depends on pupils age, number of pupils, number of groups and time allocated for each group. I try and keep sessions as structured as possible to allow children to have fun and learn new skills. For example, if a 2hr session was required with a class of 30 secondary school children, I would run very much as a fun, structured lesson learning one skill at a time, all as one group. Then move onto another skill etc.

Circus skills workshops can be run as a drop in style taster session, with a fun, instructional demonstration at the start. Participants then try different circus skills as they please. This is the best way for lots of children to participate throughout the day. In the past I have managed to provide up to 6 taster sessions in one day, with up to 30 children in each session.

Drop in Circus skills workshops are also a great addition to school fetes.
See DROP IN WORKSHOPS for info.

All of my circus skills workshops include fun demonstrations throughout in which I use my teaching and also performance expertise to make activity educational and fun.

Circus skills offered…Ball and Club Juggling, Devil Sticks, Hula Hoop, Diabolo, Plate Spinning, Object Balancing (on hand, chin, nose and head), Hat Manipulation, Cigar Boxes, Wire Walking or Tight Rope, Stilt walking and Unicycling/pedal-go. 

Sessions can end with children being encouraged to show off their new skills to the rest if the group.

A 30 minute comedy Juggling show can also be added into the day for the whole school.

Solo Circus has £10m of Public liability insurance and holds an enhanced DBS certificate. A risk assessment can also be provided if required.
