CIRCUS PROGRAMMES
Circus arts transcend all boundaries and challenges physical limitations. It is our belief that through attending our workshops, children and youths are given opportunities to explore their strengths in performance arts and exercise their creativity while at the same time building up their perseverance, discipline and self-esteem. Our instructors are trained in sports coaching, working with youth in difficulty, as well as working with participants with special needs. They are equipped with skills to handle participants with diverse needs. Our holistic approach ensures that there is continuity in the programme from the basic level to the advance level allowing the students to pick up different skill sets as they progress through the levels.
Power Circus
Power Circus combines Circus Arts with the established Dunn & Dunn Learning Styles to impart life skills as well as academic/studying skills.
The Dunn and Dunn Learning Styles Model, developed by the late Dr Rita Dunn and Dr Kenneth Dunn of St John’s University in New York, is one of the most well-researched learning style models in the world. Every piece of research has consistently testified that when anyone is taught according to this model, their academic achievement improves, as does their attitude, self-discipline. Participants would have their learning styles profiled and with a six page learning styles report generated detailing their learning styles.
Circus Arts would then be used as a tool to reinforce the participants’ learning styles and as well as work with them on life skills such as self –esteem, perseverance and creativity. The programme culminates with a performance in the school at the end. This would allow the school to view the participants in a positive light.
