Circus Arts School Assembly & Workshops

Inspiring the Next Generation of Performers

 

Bring movement, creativity, and confidence into your school with our immersive Circus In Schools Program – School Assembly & Workshops  – a program combining a hands-on student participation and performances.

Designed for elementary, middle, and secondary schools, as well as homeschool groups, this experience introduces young people to the artistry, discipline, and joy of circus. Through aerial arts, acrobatics, juggling, balance skills, and expressive movement, students discover new ways to challenge themselves, collaborate, and imagine what is possible.

A Performance That Sparks Curiosity

Each visit begins with a captivating live circus show performed by professional artists. Students witness:

• Acrobatics and partner work

• Object manipulation and juggling

• Physical theatre and storytelling through movement

• A variety of circus arts (individual acts can vary depending on space and ceiling heights available)

The performance is designed to be age-appropriate, inspiring, and educational, highlighting themes of perseverance, teamwork, creative exploration, and following one’s passions.

Between acts, performers share insights into training, safety, and the many ways circus artists develop their skills, showing students that movement doesn’t have to look like traditional sports and that there’s a place in circus for every body.
