Circus Minimus Seeks Afterschool Teachers
Posted January 5, 2009
Circus Minimus has been around forever, is reputable, and keeps
growing. Posted as received.
Circus Minimus is looking for a few afterschool teachers for the
upcoming January - June 2009 semester. We need reliable, responsible
teaching artists who are good with early childhood kids (ages 6-9).
They will be working with small groups of 12 or fewer on their own in
the schools in Brooklyn or Manhattan. Circus Minimus provides
curriculum, equipment, support, some teacher training, and the gig.
The teachers are paid between $30-$40 per hour, and it is only for the
afterschool portion of the day 3-5ish.
Interested candidates, please send resume or call Kevin O'Keefe,

CLASS DESCRIPTIONS: Circus Minimus Afterschool Programs
The Circus Kids Create™
This is the chance to run away and join the circus and still be home
for dinner. Safe and expert instruction includes: clowning, juggling,
tumbling, diabolo, devil sticks, partner acrobatics, plate spinning,
make-up, human pyramids, and much more. A collaborative approach is
used that stresses teamwork and creativity. The class culminates in a
unique and joyous show for families and friends! Ages 6+
Wizardry 101
A crash course in unleashing the imagination! Through storytelling and
adventure theater we will create our very own world of wizardry with
infinite magical possibility. We'll invent mythical creatures, concoct
potions, cast spells, and make magical props that allow a new world to
come alive before your eyes. Through theater exercises and serious
play, children will develop their own cast of characters and fantasy
setting to explore the storyteller, performer and wizard within. Ages
6+
Rhythmic Gymnastics
Rhythmic gymnastics is now not only an Olympic Sport but also a fun
high-energy recreational activity. With the new rhythmic gymnastics
program at Circus Minimus, kids will use their own creativity and
learn how to express themselves with graceful and fluid movement,
improve strength and flexibility, and greatly enhance hand-eye
coordination with the use of apparatuses such as ribbon, hoop, ball,
rope, and clubs. So join us this fall for this thrilling and
innovative program! Ages 6+
The Magic Forest™
This class focuses on the unique imagination inherent in each child.
In a fun and safe setting children create their own world of imaginary
creatures and mythical landscapes. Drawing upon tales of wizards,
fairies, gnomes, unicorns, and dragons we will create our own magical
story. With a touch of theatre, a touch of art, and lots of
imaginative storytelling children refine such basic skills as telling
a story, listening, group problem solving, and collaboration. Ages
6+
Tumbling 101
This is an introductory class emphasizing good technique and body
alignment. We will focus on skill building in acrobatics, group
tumbling routines, and pyramid building. Kids will also build their
very own tumbling obstacle course. The semester will end with The Big
Tumbling Show. Ages 6+
