StatementCircus Jim provides Circus shows and workshops targeted to the age of the participants. The 45 minute show for young children features a range of circus skills, magic and illusion. Jim can highlight number, colour, comparitive size etc through the show. Jim does not wear makeup /face paint as this can worry some young children.
The workshop for younger children includes juggling with scarves and a range of balls, varying in weight. size and texture - for young children throwing and catching one scarf can be an achievement. Peacock Feathers and Spinning Plates are used to teach the balancing of objects. Children may also have a go on a low (400mm) tightrope.
