" James was an absolute star and kept people entertained throughout the whole event. When he wasn’t doing the demonstrations, he had time and patience with individual children assisting them with circus skills. We received lots of positive feedback regarding the Circus Skills workshop / demonstrations. This is the first time that we have booked anything like this for our event and I would certainly book you for future events "

" On behalf of all of us at Made in Corby and the community panel of Kingswood and Hazel Leys, I would like to offer our deepest thanks to you all for all of your hard work at the Field Day Festival on Saturday 24th in Corby. The event was, as far as we know, the first of its kind in bringing high quality arts activities to the local community, and the turnout from the local community to engage with these was huge, which we are immensely happy about. You made the day such an enjoyable success, in all the ways that you contributed "

The Science of Circus

"Complex tasks such as juggling produce significant changes to the structure of the brain, according to scientists at Oxford University.
In the journal, Nature Neuroscience, the scientists say they saw a 5% increase in white matter - the cabling network of the brain." In brief, learning a new skill such as Juggling can hard wire our brains to work better and faster! Circus skills help develop and improve concentration skills. This is particularly evident in those children with shorter attention spans. When we run Circus skills workshops in schools the teachers are often amazed that one or more children who usually have a problem concentrating are doing better than anyone else in the class! Learning Circus skills also offers great benefits in terms of physical co-ordination and physical fitness. Circus workshops fit very well into the school curriculum under PE and co-ordination development. In fact there are many areas where Circus workshops offer great opportunities for curriculum enrichment.

Activities such as Circus skills have been used with great success as an educational tool, as an aid to learning as well as therapeutically with children at risk and with children with special needs. Autistic children have been observed to respond particularly well to Circus skills in schools. Circus skills are an opportunity for children and adults to discover and develop skills such as Concentration, Information retention, Concept visualisation, hand eye co-ordination and self awareness. These skills can then be used in many other settings including social situations and in conventional educational settings whilst learning the core subjects.
