Circus for Seniors In-Person
Historically, the world of circus arts has embraced diversity and pushed the limits of human potential. Since then, a Social Circus movement has emerged, emphasizing the wellness benefits of practicing circus arts for people of all ages and levels of ability.
In this 45-minute program, Buffalo-based teaching artist Benjamin Berry will share his expertise of prop-based circus arts in a fully accessible environment geared towards elders and adults with limited mobility. Benjamin will guide participants through a seated creative movement class utilizing:
- hula hoop-assisted stretches,
- scarf juggling,
- poi (swinging prop originating from the Maori people of New Zealand),
- spinning plates
Participants will also be educated on the many wellness benefits of practicing circus arts, and end with a finale performance by Benjamin for inspiration!
