About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

2 months of alternating work on theater circus skills in supporting children and young people with these skills. In addition to the performances with children and young people, there is also the development of our own theater circus performance. The topic is determined jointly by all those involved and should relate to Europe at the moment and current world events. The means are a mixture of “Physical Theater”, “Modern Circus” and “Expression in Movement & Art”. The work is supplemented with movement meditation from Feldenkrais, yoga and impulse resonance learning. Overall, the work resembles a shared movement laboratory. activities overview: 1-8 Jul: support of an international youth project (Expression in Movement & Art) one week of introducing training 22 Jul- 2 Aug: accompanying 3 x 5 day circus and movement projects with local kids training trip with street theater performances 12-23 Aug: accompanying 2 x 5 day theatre projects with local kids 26 Aug: final performance

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
