Schools The Westside Circus Schools Program makes innovative and accessible circus workshops available to schools across Victoria.
Each workshop is tailored to the needs of the participants and includes activities that are both challenging and fun. A Westside Circus workshop might include juggling, hula-hoops, plate or feather balancing, partner acro-balance or group pyramid building and aerials such as trapeze, cloudswing and tissu.
The workshops are led by professional circus trainers who are also trained in social circus- a philosophy of circus for social change. Social circus training involves learning hands-on practical skills for using circus as a tool to facilitate personal and social growth and increase access and participation for people of all abilities. Programs can range from a one-off introduction to circus workshop through to a term-long or year-long program, with performance outcomes often included.
Ringwood Heights PS (2005) & East Burwood PS (2006)
The whole school learned circus and performed for their community on the school oval. Each grade level and their teachers participated in a series of workshops, and worked with professional circus trainers, visual and sound artists to devise their own circus show. Make it happen!
