Would you like to do some manual work and learn circus skills? Then this workcamp is the right place for you. ‘Learning by doing’ is the order of the day, so you can try things out and contribute your skills and ideas to the projects.
Over the course of a week, you will show off your manual and gardening skills and beautify the grounds of the Jokes Circus School, a children's and youth project with a real circus tent.
In addition to the tent, there are mainly shipping containers on the site, which serve as offices, toilets, storage rooms, dining and meeting rooms and will also be used by you during the camp. You will carry out various gardening and craft activities to beautify and improve the circus grounds. You will mainly be involved in woodwork, roof construction and painting. And you will be building at a circus wagon!
In the other week you will take part in an exciting artistic and circus training workshop! Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of circus and try your hand at various disciplines. Learn the art of body control through acrobatics, which includes floor, aerial and partner acrobatics. Balance on a tightrope, ride a unicycle or master complex jumps and figures. Or you can discover the skill of juggling, where you hold several objects in the air at the same time and create impressive patterns with balls, clubs, rings and diabolos.
Dare to take to the air and try your hand at aerial acrobatics, which includes performances such as trapeze, vertical scarf, straps and aerial rings. This discipline requires strength, flexibility and courage. Do you prefer to stay on the ground? Then learn the art of comedy and entertainment through clowning, where you make people laugh with facial expressions, gestures, slapstick and humour.
Whether you already have experience or are just curious, this workshop is the perfect opportunity to learn new skills and push your boundaries.
