A Smirkus Residency is an extended visit
to your school by a circus professional who
shares circus skills with students each day
for one day, one week or two weeks, in school
or after school.
Imagine...
Increased
learning skills
Motivated students
All-school participation
Good PR for the school
Involved parents
New standards-based lesson
plans
Enhanced school climate
.
. . And a rousing, rip-roaring all-school
circus performance -- that you don't have
to produce!!
A Circus Smirkus
school residency is all of this.
Watch some of the experience at a recent
residency at St. Johnsbury Academy in St.
Johnsbury, VT!
It's an unforgettable experience, filled
with educational value. Our residencies are
designed to enhance learning skills by introducing
your students to a wide range of circus arts.
Along the way students gain confidence, focus,
and persistence.
"Spectacular!!
Our students loved it!!"
~
National Presbyterian School, Wash. D.C.
Circus is a unique
and inspiring way to teach children, and to
promote community involvement at your school
or organization.
Our program also includes a curriculum guide,
jam-packed with circus related lesson plans
for art, music, science, history, math, and
language skills. Each lesson is designed
to meet one or more state standards.
The best part -- every Smirkus residency ends
with an exciting all-school circus performance!
Parents will love it! And we take care of
everything -- props, staging, music - the
works.
Why a Circus Residency?
Circus is a non-competitive physical art
form that extends easily to any part of the
school curriculum. Circus training requires
the same dedication, discipline, and hard
work of any sport, but it stresses collaboration
rather than competition.
