Description
Learning sneaks up on kids when they’re laughing! This on-campus performance teaches the main concepts of elementary science curriculum through physical comedy and the circus arts. Does a cup of water twirled around speedily in a billiard triangle stay put because of centrifugal force, or centripetal force? How can stacked objects not crash to the ground, somehow overcoming the law of gravity? Your students will know after this show, which covers such principles as the Laws of Motion, rotational velocity, gravity, simple machines, states of matter and more. Students will also learn how these performers have turned these concepts of science into live performance pieces that can be performed worldwide. Students will get a chance to see how the arts can be utilized to create excitement and fun and shared experience among all types of children. We represent an artistic form of communication called physical comedy. We use our face and bodies equally along with the spoken word to communicate information, emotion, point of view. The culmination of these factors is engagement, which is the most important thing a performer can do.

Students Will
  • see the principals of science come to life through the circus arts.
  • leave the performance able to relate science to skills they have learned.
  • learn how science is in our everyday life, and that it can be fun.
  • learn to appreciate live performance and how the arts are relevant to everyone
