The Trash "Zone"
This is a school wide workshop on circus skills using all “trash”, reused and recycled materials. Students learn to make and throw their own boomerangs using a pizza box, how to balance with old tree limbs, how to juggle with plastic bags, how vortexes work with soda bottles, and how to create music with cans and rubber bands. There are a series of skills from which to choose and the program can be adapted either for the classroom or for a whole school day.
