Heygreen Primary, Liverpool

“We hired Circles Sensible for our 70th Platinum Jubilee Celebrations and it was a brilliant day. James was a wonderful performer: he was fantastic with the children making them smile at feel at ease; he performed an enthralling assembly that was a spectacle; taught the children many great skills and provided exceptional entertainment as part of our picnic. We would strongly recommend Circus Sensible”

Halton Borough Council, Lancashire

“I have booked Circus Sensible for many years. The guys/girls are great, friendly, hilarious and very entertaining. I would highly recommend them.”

Woodlands School, Formby

“Circus Sensible was simply fantastic. They came into our school the day before our Circus show and delivered circus skills workshops to all the children from nursery to Y6. What a fabulous time everyone had! Juggling clubs, walking wheels, plate spinning, stilt walking, flower stick juggling, hoola-hooping, static unicycling – the children had a great time honing their skills. The workshop was brilliant. We had 2 performances on the Saturday. Circus Sensible captivated the audiences with a mixture of silliness & skill. There was lots of cheering and shouting, great engagement with the audience and even the adults were laughing and smiling and thoroughly enjoying themselves. The 2 days really brought the whole school community together and the feedback we have received from the audiences has been beyond positive and everyone had a fantastic time.”

Thank you so much for arranging the circus skills today- we all loved the assembly and workshop. The children had a wonderful time building resilience and boosting their confidence - they felt so proud of themselves and they wanted me to let you know how much they all enjoyed it.”

PHX Training, Kendal, Cumbria

“ We had the pleasure of hosting Andy, the circus performer, for a day of entertainment, and he was absolutely fantastic! Andy brought an electrifying energy to our event and left everyone in awe with his remarkable skills. Throughout the day, Andy showcased an impressive array of talents, from jaw-dropping juggling acts to mesmerizing unicycling. His performance captivated us, keeping us all engaged and enthralled from start to finish. Not only was Andy incredibly skilled, but he also demonstrated a professional and personable demeanor. He interacted effortlessly with our guests, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that added to the overall enjoyment of the day. Andy's passion for his craft was evident in every moment of his performance, and his enthusiasm was contagious. His professionalism, talent, and charm made him an absolute pleasure to work with, and we would highly recommend him to anyone seeking top-notch entertainment for their event.”

Bertram Tennis Club, Wirral

“Circus Sensible were an added attraction to our Centenary Open Day at the Tennis Club and proved to be a great hit with adults and children alike. Obby arrived on time and entertained everyone with his skills and tricks - the children especially loved the hoops, diabolos and juggling balls and all of them went away having learned new circus skills. Thank you for helping to make our 100th birthday celebrations such a success!”

The Science of Circus

"Complex tasks such as juggling produce significant changes to the structure of the brain, according to scientists at Oxford University.
In the journal, Nature Neuroscience, the scientists say they saw a 5% increase in white matter - the cabling network of the brain." In brief, learning a new skill such as Juggling can hard wire our brains to work better and faster! Circus skills help develop and improve concentration skills. This is particularly evident in those children with shorter attention spans. When we run Circus skills workshops in schools the teachers are often amazed that one or more children who usually have a problem concentrating are doing better than anyone else in the class! Learning Circus skills also offers great benefits in terms of physical co-ordination and physical fitness. Circus workshops fit very well into the school curriculum under PE and co-ordination development. In fact there are many areas where Circus workshops offer great opportunities for curriculum enrichment.

Autistic children have been observed to respond particularly well to Circus skills in schools. Circus skills are an opportunity for children and adults to discover and develop skills such as Concentration, Information retention, Concept visualisation, hand eye co-ordination and self awareness.
