Circus Skills Practitioner Pack

Put your students' clowning around to good use! This engaging programme looks at circus activities, particularly in terms of skill development. Sessions focus on areas such as juggling, diabolo, poi, stilt-walking and clowning. There is ample opportunity for learners to develop their literacy and numeracy skills, while also developing new performance skills and general fitness.

The practitioner pack introduces the aims and plan of the programme and sets out the core circus skills, then moves on to:

• choosing a specialism and creating an act
• rehearsing, planning and preparing for a performance
• evaluation and review.

It lays out literacy and numeracy objectives and links the programme to other PLUS programmes and useful external resources. The pack consists of a practitioners' manual (52pp), a learners' notebook (72pp) and a DVD.

These enrichment materials were developed by ECOTEC Research and Consulting Ltd and Artists on behalf of the Arts Council England and the Youth Justice Board for England and Wales.
