Each year, over 250 children work with professional artists to develop physical circus skills such as juggling, acrobatics, improvisation, balancing, unicycling, stilting, hip hop dance, hambone body percussion, and clowning. An emphasis on cultural connections within the program’s curriculum and structure is valued and included. Students also learn about performance art, including creative expression, stage presence, production, and theater vocabulary.

Through this work, our stars increase their confidence while developing essential life skills including teamwork, cooperation, punctuality, and grace under pressure — the ability to smile when “the show must go on!”. Arts education that truly promotes school and life success.

 

 

 

 

 

Our most visible presence in the community is the Prescott Circus Performing Company made up of students from Prescott Elementary School in West Oakland and advancing students in our Circus Pathways for Older Youth. A group of 15 students in grades 4 – 12 commit themselves to 3 – 10 hours of training per week. The group performs and makes appearances at over 30 events each year.

Our programming extents out with as many as seven Oakland schools each year.
