Incredible Opportunity - training with Cirque du Soleil
Pete had a weeks training with the world famous circus at Circus Space in London.
Cirque du Soleil had been piloting training for ‘Social Circus’ trainers and the course was the first run in the UK. Joined by 19 other trainers. the week long event was led by facilitators from Montreal and Los Angeles. It proved thought-provoking and inspirational - described by one participant as being ‘plugged into an ultimate energy source’.
A range of methods was used to explore issues in using circus with marginalised young people. Games exchanges, creative devising, performance and reflective sessions all worked well.
Lots of links to follow up and Pete put in a proposal to run a train the trainers course to build capacity amongst trainers in Europe.
