Summer Reading Program 2014 - Wrap Up

SRP 1    SRP 40

Another amazing summer has ended. Paul really enjoyed creating a show for this summer's Fizz, Boom, Read! science theme. He performed his new Science of Awesome show at close to 100 libraries in 10 states from Connecticut to Louisiana. Using juggling and skill toys, he illustrated scientific principles such as gravity, center of gravity, potential energy, and kinetic energy as he learned to balance, spin, and master new tricks. The show of course had his signature style of improvisational comedy and audience interaction.

Don't just take our word for it, here's what the librarians we worked with are saying:

  • Science concepts like gravity are introduced in the most entertaining way possible. That's the way people learn science.

  • Flow Circus was an extraordinary educational program where can you learn and have fun at the same time! 

  • Absolutely hit the spot.

  • "Gravity" was on everyone's lips as they left the show. Loved the reminder that failing is okay and that trying over and over again will lead to success.

  • So amazingly accommodating. I really feel like we were partnering to impact the families we serve.

  • Paul really connects with the audience, invites participation, and makes them feel comfortable with his show from beginning to end.


After our library shows, we hand out bookmarks to the audience. For the first time this summer, kids have been trying to find the center of gravity on the bookmark in order to balance it on their fingers. We love seeing them put the science they have learned into action! For more pictures, visit our photo gallery. To learn more about Flow Circus school and library programs visit FlowCircus.com.
