Circus Skills




Many pedagogies or classification systems exist for circus skills. Some of the most famous systems include:

In addition to these major systems, virtually every circus school in the world - and to a lesser extent every circus arts teacher in the world - has, over time, developed their own pedagogies for teaching circus arts. While most of these pedagogies evolved to fit the needs, strengths and teaching styles of the individual school or teacher, some pedagogies evolved from more pragmatic approaches, with categories being based more on objectively defined criteria, and less on how the individual school or teacher approaches the teaching of the skills.

As students and as teachers it is importiant to recognize that all of the various pedagogical systems in use are valid methods of looking at circus skills, and that embedded within each of these pedagogies is lot of very useful knowlage. Comparing and contrasting these various circus pedagogies can be an invaluable tool for those learning or teaching circus arts.
