"Every child at every grade level seemed totally engrossed in
the activities! There was something to interest everyone. In

Exciting and educational hands-on workshops from one hour to week-long residencies,
designed to meet state curriculum standards. Accompanying study guides provided.
Workshop topics include physical education, science, social studies/history, language,
and performing arts.
Residencies can also be designed to culminate in an exciting school-wide assembly in
which participants share new skills learned during the week!
Circus Science
(Grades K-8)
Students explore principles of physics (gravity, balance, and motion) through circus
activities such as juggling, plate spinning, tight-wire and feather balancing.
Circus
(Grades K-12)
Students explore physically challenging and exciting circus skills such as juggling,
balancing, stilt walking, plate-spinning, and unicycling! This workshop can be done
with either a physical education and/or performing arts focus.
Mask Theater
(Grades Pre K-12)
Students explore the cultural history of masks; design and create their own masks; and
learn how actors "support" their masks through movement and physical expression.
Optional emphasis on Greek drama.
It's Magic
(Grades 3-8)
Applying math, communication, and planning skills, students learn the basics of
performance magic as they make and perfect their own tricks. Language arts/history
curricular tie-ins optional.
Trash-To-Treasure Masks
(Grades K-2)
To foster environmental awareness, students design animal masks out of materials
normally thrown away. Using the masks they created, students explore movement by
acting out their animals.
Dinosaur Dig
(Grades Pre-K to 2)
Using shovels and brushes, students dig through tubs for wooden “fossils”,
discovering, reconstructing, and naming a dinosaur right out of their own imagination.
Students use deductive thinking to determine their dinosaur’s characteristics, e.g.,
herbivore or carnivore, flying or swimming, etc.
Staff Training & Team-building!
Our team-building workshops for staff and/or students are ideal for orienations,
retreats, urban-suburban partnerships, and in-service training. Activities include ice-
breaker games, co-operative challenges, and creativity exercises.
