Wild Rumpus Circus

About Wild Rumpus Circus

At our circus school, kids ages 7 and up are able to explore a variety of circus activities, including stilt walking, trapeze, acrobatics, clowning, juggling, tight wire walking, pantomime, physical theater, circus history, visual art and costume design. Our program emphasizes the development of these skills while also prioritizing fun and cooperation. Through the practice of these skills, students will develop their physical and mental agility, gain self-confidence, and learn important lessons about teamwork and tolerance. We believe in the power of fun and the importance of cooperation, and strive to create an environment in which children can feel safe and supported in trying new things, taking risks, and developing trust in themselves and others. We strive to empower children with the skills and tools they need to become confident and capable individuals.

Stilt walking

Throughout history stilts have been used for many high jobs like harvesting peaches, walking in soggy areas, washing windows, or in construction and painting. They have also been used in ceremonies, celebrations and rituals; not to mention the circus, throughout the world. Stilt walking is great fun, confidence boosting, and not so hard to learn . It’s quite like riding a bike, once you’ve successfully found the balance point you’re on your way. In stilt class students will learn to get up on stilts, walk, dance, stand still, and fall safely.

Advanced Camp

participants (ages 10 and up who’ve completed at least one week of the Wild Rumpus or other comparable program) get to add German Wheel, Rolling Globe, Aerial Silks, Aerial Improvisation and Theater/Comedy improvisation to their bag of tricks, as well as expand their performance horizons. In our first week, we’ll visit Circus World Museum and perform as walkabout entertainers on grounds. At the end of two weeks, we’ll wrap all of these new skills into a grand finale performance!

TOUR Camp

(ages 12 and up, by application) combines all these skills and more, with an extra dose of collaboration and teamwork, as we will build a show from scratch to take on the road and perform for new audiences, and do some camping.
