  • Outreach Brochure
    Outreach Workshops Belfast Circus School Centre for Circus Arts in Ireland Transforming lives and communities through the power of circus arts and street theatre www.belfastcircus.org Belfast Circus School Outreach Workshops Belfast Circus School has Ireland’s finest team of trained and experienced tutors dedicated to teaching circus skills. We teach a great variety of circus skills to all levels to meet the needs of the receiving group. The tutor team promotes a creative and artistic environment through facilitating games, circus skills and performances. Belfast Circus School engages with a range of youth and community groups as well as corporate clients to provide circus learning and promote personal development. Primarily, our projects are short term ranging from 1 -10 sessions working with children and young people linked with youth/community groups. However, there are a number of long term initiatives which we have been running. These include initiatives with young people excluded from the formal education system, cross community groups and disadvantaged urban youth. Outreach workshops usually take place within your own community, but sometimes they are held at the Circus School in Belfast. Our name may suggest we provide workshops only in Belfast. The fact is, we can provide workshops anywhere in Ireland! Benefits of Circus Learning Include: -sense of achievement -increased self confidence -improved teamwork -enhanced communication skills -encouraging creativity -development of life skills -positive experience of the arts -raised self-esteem -respect for others -good community relations -greater levels of co-ordination -more positive approach to physical activity and challenges What is an Outreach Workshop? A typical workshop session (Youth Circus & Adult Circus) would normally last for 2 hours and would consist of 15 minutes of warm up and team building games, 90 minutes of teaching circus skills, a 5 minute break, and a 10 minute cool down.

  • Intouch School Newsletter Octnov 2011
    YASS HIGH SCHOOL We value respect, responsibility, safety and learning. Relieving Principal: Louise Pinson BA (Hons) Dip Ed Relieving Deputy Principal: Dawn Bartlett BSc, Dip Ed Year 12 Farewelled in Style From the Principal’s Blog Friday 18th November was a big day for the Class of 2011. It began early with a breakfast barbecue which was a chance to catch up with classmates as well as say goodbye to teachers. The most important event of the day, and for some the year, was the Year 12 Formal which was held this year at the Memorial Hall. Students and their partners gathered at the courthouse for photos in the late afternoon sunshine and then began arriving at the hall. The Comur Street pavement resembled a Hollywood gathering as an appreciative crowd watched glamorous girls in brightly coloured dresses and amazingly high heels emerge from cars, accompanied by well groomed young men, suited up for the occasion. The hall was beautifully decorated with a starry night theme in black, silver and gold and the young people must have felt like stars as they walked in along the red carpet to their tables. The hard work of the Formal Committee has certainly paid off. Oct / Nov 2011 After a smorgasbord meal of roasts and salads, Mr Glenn Matthews, their Year Adviser and MC for the night presented each of the students to the audience of parents and guests. Rebecca McLean and Zack Solomons gave a speech recalling fond memories of the school and Talliesin Ryder and Brendan Madden were picked from the hat (or rather box), to cut the cake, made by Margaret Fish, on behalf of their peers.

  • Rethinking the Political: Art, Work and the Body in the Contemporary Circus
    Rethinking the Political: Art, Work and the Body in the Contemporary Circus by Lindsay Stephens A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Geography and Collaborative Program in Women and Gender Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Lindsay Stephens (2012) Rethinking the Political: Art, Work and the Body in the Contemporary Circus Lindsay Stephens Doctor of Philosophy Department of Geography and Collaborative Program in Women and Gender Studies University of Toronto 2012 Abstract This dissertation is about the circus, but it is also about how we think through a range of possibilities for individual and social change in the contemporary post- Fordist or neoliberal moment. In the last 40 years geographers, along side other scholars, have documented an increasingly close relationship between social, political, and economic aspects of life in western countries. These shifts have raised concerns over shrinking spaces of resistance and loss of counter hegemonic voices, and increased interest in transgressive or ‘outside’ spaces and bodies as sites of resistance, escape, and social change. Two contested sites that seem to offer promise for resistance, yet are simultaneously critiqued for their participation in dominant discourses, are art (or creative labour) and the body. Despite prolific literatures on these topics in geography in the last decade, links between creative labour, theories of embodiment, and the living practices of cultural workers are still far too rare. To address this I examine the intersection of theories of research, labour, art, discipline, ii embodiment and politics, understood through the daily practices of circus performers doing highly physical and embodied work.
