This summer
our children and teens participated in summer courses with the theme of
circus arts. Activities included juggling, acrobatic dance on hanging fabrics,
stilts and professional face painting.
The
acrobatic dance is one of the activities that generated high interest among the
children, as they have learned to climb nearly two stories and do choreography
in the air as their skills improve.
The
activities in the juggling classes included equipment such as pins, balancing
poles, balls and rings. For the stilts lessons the children take turns being
spotted by the instructor and an educator. Little by little they learned to
balance themselves and have greater confidence at new heights.
In the
face-painting class, children learned to paint their own faces and those of
others. Themes have included different animals, injuries, zombies, ferries and
mimes.
During the
summer we also held artistic workshops with different techniques such as
sketching, oil painting and water colors.
The final
show took place on Friday, August 17th,
where participants showed off their new
skills and routines to parents, staff and other members of the CODENI
community.
