Welcome to Circus for All!
Our school residency program is a visit to your school or organization by a circus professional who shares circus and life skills with students. This unforgettable experience is filled with educational value. Circus for All residencies are designed to enhance learning skills by introducing your students to a variety of circus arts. Throughout the residency students acquire focus, patience, and problem solving skills. Circus for All is an exciting learning opportunity that motivates students both in and out
of the classroom.
- Students of all ages and abilities are inspired to practice and achieve because circus skills are so novel, challenging, and fun.
- Communication, cooperation, collaboration, humor, creativity, trust, self-expression and self-confidence are attributes gained or strengthened by students.
- Students are encouraged to reach personal excellence at their own pace, by developing concentration, discipline, and persistence.
- Circus arts are equally good as individual, partner and group activities. Many students who do not enjoy traditional sports and games often excel at circus arts.
- Students gain a new and improved vision of themselves by succeeding in a positive and fun environment.
- Bringing Circus for All to your school will inspire students to practice and work hard to meet their goals.

Curriculum
Activities
Activities your students are sure to enjoy may include juggling, spinning plates, unicycling, balancing feathers, devil sticks, diabolos, rolla bollas, rip stix, clowning and more. There will be plenty of games and laughter for all!
The program is developed to promote coordination, fine motor skills and physical fitness in a non-competitive environment.
Juggling is just one example of an excellent activity for teaching goal setting, tracking improvement and perseverance. Juggling even helps to teach math, rhythm and timing.
This program is developed to promote cooperation, persistence and success. With Circus for All, students are given numerous opportunities to try things they never thought they could accomplish. Children learn about goal setting and have tons of fun trying new activities. They quickly discover that with any endeavor, practice creates improvement.
Testimonials
“I would rather be doing circus than be on vacation.”
Cassie - 4th Grader E.Taylor Hatton School F.Morgan, VT
"Christine has amazed me with her ability to quickly assess the class dynamics and set up her work accordingly. She is able to move the class from one activity to another with absolutely no transition issues, which is a difficult skill to master. I even overheard the 6th graders EXCITED in the hallway returning from her class, and that is a feat in itself! Christine has many admirers here at Barstow."
Debbie Parry - Special Education Para-educator Barstow Memorial School Chittenden, VT
“The Circus residency has been amazing. Christine Landon is simply wonderful with the students, who are learning important lessons that go far beyond balancing and juggling.”
Julie Benay - Principal Swanton Elementary Swanton, VT
"Each time I walked into the room, I was stunned by the total commitment and engagement each child gave the task s/he was working on. Our artist in residence, Christine Landon, led our students deftly with a tone all at once warm, enthusiastic, calm, and firm."
Kate Grodin - Principal Sudbury Country School, Sudbury, VT
