Juggling Playground |
 |
For (integrative) schoolclasses&teachers, for youthcentres, afterwork party, oldpeoples home, holiday parcnts, children holiday camps
“Juggling
is supporting the abilities of concentration & koordination, feeling
of rhythm, psychomotoric, right-left koordination, synchronisation between
right and left brainside. It´s causing a meditative state of consciousness,
mental relaxation and flow experience and happiness, which is activating
the individual resources and strenghtening the whole personality.
Pois and Staff move the whole body, they are good for fitness training
and usefull in varied places such as
Kindergartens, Sports, Youthwork, work with disabled people, Dance Pedagogy
, therapy and rehabilitation.”
How
we are working
The participants are learning to juggle with Balls, Flowersticks, Pois
and Staff. At the beginning we present a juggling show, where the different
juggling toys get introduced to the participants, during the workshops
we are also showing films and clips out of the internet for inspiration
and learning.
A Juggling Playground exists out of different playstations, where the participants can play with one of the instruments, during one workshop the instruments can get changed. There is a playground animator who is teaching the tricks, but also let the particpants explore their own moves.
It´s also good to have a room with no day-light for rehearsal, so participants have the possibility, to experiment with floureszent lights and instruments. This is especially interesting for participants with special abilities! because simple moves can have big effects. Also they can experiment with bodypainting and play black theatre. Along with juggling and performing the participants are learning how to construct the juggling toys by themselves.
Depending
on age and ability the participants also can learn how to play with fire
in the second half of the course.
The aim of the project is to work out a group performance, which can be
presented in the end of the project, for example at a school summer fest.
We
are offering
intensive courses: daily trainings for example in holidays, weekends
extensiv courses: 2 hours once or twice a week, for one or two semesters.
Children
Holiday Camps -for
kids and youth from poor, social weak families |

other
workshops :
We also are offering painting and papercutting workshops, music-workshops
with electronic and acoustic instruments.
One main
issue in our association is especially the work with kids /youth out of
the balkan region. We can offer courses in english, albanian, serbo-croatian
and italian, the main language nevertheless is the own body and learning
from watching a model.

Playground Village
We are looking
for space to set up a playground village. A place to stay, to do holidays
to do youth-projects, artistscamp, conferences.
We can participate in already
existing projects/camps, but also we are looking for a nice place on the
countryside or close to the sea, to organize children or youthcamps But
we are also open towards spaces in the cities, to do juggling playgrounds
in youthcentres or in the park.
