Science of Awesome - New Show for 2014-15

Flow Circus has added a new school assembly performance to its offerings for the upcoming school year.

Science of Awesome: Performer Paul Miller of Flow Circus tells the story of one fateful summer when he first learns about physics. In this seemingly magical world where things fall, balance, and spin, he defies gravity and discovers new skills. His journey begins with a single question that ultimately gets answered through problem solving and the scientific method.

Book Flow Circus for the day and extend the impact of assemblies with hands-on workshops or author visits. Add a Skoyz Family Night to encourage participation in your PTA events. Most importantly, invite Flow Circus to your school to remind students and families about the importance of cultivating curiosity, building resilience, and having fun together.  A limited number of the following special packages are available:

Fall Tour - Showcase, School, & Libraries!

 

Flow Circus traveled to the North East last week to share a little playfulness with librarians, students, and families. We started out the week at the Nassau Library System Performer Showcase where we met creative librarians looking for exciting new programs for their communities. We look forward to returning to NY this spring/summer.

Next, we visited the Manchester Branch and Berkeley Branch Libraries in Ocean County, New Jersey to entertain families and to encourage them to Read Yourself Silly! To see more pictures from these shows, visit our photo gallery.

We wrapped up the tour with a visit to Mother of Divine Providence School in King of Prussia, PA. For school shows, Paul uses juggling and magic to captivate audiences while leaving them with important lessons. For the younger grades, the theme of the show is read - find things that you want to learn how to do and then use the library to find books about that activity/topic. For the upper grades, Paul challenges the students to Find Your Passion - Research Your Career Options - Excel in Your Efforts! These steps can help students to think more creatively about careers related to their interests.

 We enjoyed all of our visits and look forward to visiting these communities again in the future. If you saw Paul perform on this tour, please feel free to share your comments here.

Flow Circus Visits Fairfax County!

 

 

Flow Circus, member of the Arts Council of Fairfax County, recently visited the SACC After School Program at Great Falls Elementary School, Great Falls Public Library and Newington Forest Elementary School to encourage children to Read Yourself Silly. Paul used his own story of how a trip to the circus inspired him to visit his library to learn how to juggle which then led to balloons, magic, and even the history of the circus! Teachers had students write letters to Paul after the show and above are some of the drawings and comments they made about what they want to learn from the library. Below are a few photographs from the library performance.

Read Yourself Silly at F. A. Berry Elementary School

Flow Circus had so much fun helping kids to Catch the Reading Bug this summer, we just can't stop now!! From Spartanburg, SC to Bethel, CT, Read Yourself Silly is challenging elementary school students to visit their library in order to learn new skills such as juggling and balloon twisting.

Students at F.A. Berry Elementary School were a wonderful, playful audience and we look forward to returning to see what they have learned!

Spartanburg, SC Muse Machine Theater Tour

Today was the first day of my 3-week, 37 show tour of all the schools in greater Spartanburg.  This first show was “Catch the Learning Bug” for 4th graders at O.P. Earle Elementary School.  Balls flew, balloons popped, plates spun!  A good time was had by all.

If you saw one of my shows and would like to comment, it would be appreciated!

Thanks.
