CIRKOKROG (Slovenia)
The Cirkokrog association is a group of circus educators that have been developing circus as a medium for working with people for a good many years.
The Cirkokrog journey began upon an encounter between students of social pedagogics and a youth circus, which in Europe has been recognized as an effective medium for working with people some years ago. They did their own research for a few years and in 2005 it lead to the foundation of the Association for Circus Pedagogics Cirkokrog. The association develops circus pedagogics as a form of educational work and informal education of children, adolescents and adults. During the years many different people have joined the Cirkokrog company and helped create it – jugglers, acrobats and artist from Slovenia and abroad. What bound and still binds them together is the common development of circus skills and of the use of circus as a medium in working with people. We all come from various backgrounds, but we were drawn together by circus. Circus that rouses our excitement, curiosity, fascination and occasionally frustration. Circus with its variety of skills, colours and forms, that allow us to rediscover ourselves, to learn from one another and to spend time in each other’s company. Circus which enables us to create and to sprinkle the fairy dust over people we touch. Various circus skills are used as a medium of education. We hold regular weekly meetings where we can learn different techniques from other members and perform less demanding group acrobatic stunts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ www.cirkokrog.com Facebook: cirkokrog ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CIRKOKROG (Slovenia)Združenje Cirkokrog je skupina cirkuških pedagogov in pedagoginj, ki že vrsto let razvija cirkus kot medij dela z ljudmi.
Pot Cirkokroga se je začela, ko so se študentke socialne pedagogike spoznale z mladinskim cirkusom, ki ga v Evropi že več let priznavajo kot učinkovit medij dela z ljudmi. Po nekaj letih raziskovanja na lastno pest so leta 2005 ustanovile Združenje za cirkuško pedagogiko Cirkokrog. V okviru združenja razvijamo cirkuško pedagogiko kot obliko pedagoškega dela in neformalnega izobraževanja otrok, mladih in odraslih. Z leti so se druščini Cirkokroga priključili in jo soustvarjali raznoliki ljudje – žonglerji, akrobati in artisti iz Slovenije in drugih držav. Vezivo pa je bilo in še vedno je skupno razvijanje cirkuških veščin ter razvoj uporabe cirkusa kot medija pri delu z ljudmi. Vsi prihajamo z različnih vetrov, a vseh nas druži cirkus. Cirkus, ki nam vzbuja navdušenje, radovednost, fascinacijo in seveda kdaj tudi frustracijo. Cirkus, s svojo pestrostjo veščin, barv in oblik, kjer lahko sami sebe odkrivamo na novo, se drug od drugega učimo in družimo. Cirkus, preko katerega ustvarjamo in preko katerega trosimo čarobni prah na tiste, ki se jih dotaknemo. Kot medij pedagoškega delovanja uporabljamo razne cirkuške veščine. Na rednih tedenskih srečanjih se drug od drugega učimo raznih cirkuških tehnik in skupaj ustvarjamo lažje skupinske akrobacije. |
