As a result of this program, students in grades kindergarten through grade three will have the opportunity to learn about juggling, circus arts and mime and share those creative skills with an audience. Evaluation will occur with a verbal questionnaire and sharing in the classroom setting, their emotional reaction to the residency and follow up conferences with the residency planners.
Our goal of introducing elementary students to the circus arts with Benjamin Domask far exceeded expectations. Students learned about circus arts and also learned about patience, perseverance, teamwork and performance skills.
