This workshop focuses specifically on the therapeutic use of Circus Arts including, for example, a detailed description, and role-play, of the therapeutic benefits of Hand Balancing. Since Circus organizations are already familiar with circus skills, the focus of this workshop is in the use of specific language such as Reflective Listening. An introduction to Multiple Intelligence Theory is included to help teachers identify their students learning styles and strengths; a focus on how to create safety in the environment, both physically and emotionally; an introduction to observation techniques and group management skills to help their students achieve the most learning from the experience; and Body and Brain Balancing skills are utilized in addition to specific self-esteem building exercises and language.
