JOIN US for a special, day-long survey of all things Circus! Thursday, March 27,10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. at the Rumpus Room in Mazomanie. Cost: $60 per child. Partial Scholarships are available! Please email us at Wildrumpuscircus@gmail.com to sign up!
What to expect: A morning warm-up will stretch and strengthen body, mind and imagination through new games and improvisation. We’ll explore the basics of juggling, acrobatics, tight wire and low-flying trapeze, and explore the world of physical comedy including pantomime, clowning, and mask movement forms. As lifelong performers living in a location that’s steeped in circus history, we have stories and images galore to share when it’s time for quieter activities.
Since 2002 we’ve been offering kids ages 7 and up the chance to explore stilt walking, trapeze, acrobatics, clowning, juggling, tight wire walking, pantomime, physical theater, circus history, visual art and costume design! Our approach to promoting confidence and cooperation is action based: we emphasize focused development of circus skills while having fun together. Whether the skill at hand is balance, coordination, strength, flexibility or creative expression, students gain self-esteem, learn valuable lessons about teamwork and tolerance, and develop their physical and mental agility.
Check out our photo archives, full of amazing circus fun from 2002-present. This video also provides a slice-of-life at circus camp.
