“Our research shows that for every dollar invested for a child in a circus training program, seven dollars are potentially saved in their future mental health costs,” said lead researcher Dr Richard McGrath. Bridges has long been an advocate for the arts as a means of providing accessible wellbeing programs and offering communities an opportunity to share stories that are important to them. Bridges offers support to young people and families through their Family Mental Health Support Service with offices in Gayndah and Kingaroy and outreach across the Burnett region. Feedback from our team working in the Burnett was that young people needed something in the school holidays to engage them socially and physically. We approached Flipside Circus, Queensland’s largest youth focused arts organisation, who offer circus training programs across Queensland. So why is a mental health service organisation supporting a circus workshop program to tour the region you might ask? Circus training and performing is a fantastic way of maintaining physical and mental wellbeing. There is a wealth of academic and scientific research that has been conducted in Australia and internationally that demonstrates the wellbeing benefits of participating in circus. Circus skills includes a variety of acrobatics (including tumbling, balancing and trampoline), juggling, aerials (such as trapeze, silks and lyra) and hoops as experienced in the recent Flipside Circus workshops. Research conducted by the University of South Australia in 2019, analysing the experiences of 55 participants in a children’s (aged 8-14 years) circus school program, demonstrated that there were significant improvements in the young people’s mental wellbeing; particularly stress relief, self-esteem, confidence and socialisation. The study showed that there is a quantifiable social return from circus.

It’s Your Circus 🎪 Sometimes our lives can feel like we are ringmasters of a three ring circus that might seem to be getting a bit wild. Ring 1 is the work ring, necessary but can be disruptive to the rest of the circus. Ring 2 is the one where all of our other daily activities perform, which sometimes might look like a bunch of clown cars out of control. Ring 3 is where personal time and self care take place but often overlooked because it is happening overhead, like a tightrope walker. This is the act that requires great balancing skill and sometimes without a net. So how can we become better ringmasters? 🎪 schedule time for each ring and dedicate time for each performance. 🎪 don’t add any more acts unless you have the capacity for the extra work. 🎪 ask for help, sometimes it might be the clowns that can be of service. 🎪 don’t forget to take care of the tightrope walker and ringmaster, self care and family are your safety net. As the ringmaster it’s up to you to organize your circus so that you too are having fun. #itsyourcircus #activatedlife #healthandwellness #selfcare #livealohalivewell #underafullmoonandaguidingstar #alakaiassociates

THE CIRCUS ELEPHANT STORY! Ever heard of the story of the elephant in the circus? While still a baby, the elephant was tied by its leg to a stake driven into the ground. Then he made several attempts to yank off the rope and escape but couldn't as the rope was too strong for him at that age. So the elephant gave up and never tried again. Later, when it grew up, the elephant remembered all the efforts and the failures and still believed it could not escape from the rope, standing in the same place despite the fact it could then easily escape as it has an extraordinary strength this time. It sounds unbelievable this gigantic and powerful animal limited its capacity by the past failure. Isn't this the case with some of us humans? Hunted and limited by our past experiences. We certainly all have some tasks that we tried and failed in the past. But we are smarter than elephants and we know that we grow over time and become smarter and stronger. Unlike the elephant story, we learn from our mistakes and failures, we are smart enough to lose the fear of failing again and believe that we are now more capable to break the limits. So, overcome your fear, break your limits and realize that you are capable of accomplishing anything you want. It's time to face your challenges, don't you think so? #nolimits #impossibilityisnothing #noexcuses #nofear #freedom #overcomefear #overcomingchallenges #limitless #nobarriers

A moment of excitement and relief. 🧠🙏😁Dear network, I'm glad to share the report called ''Models of a National Circus Centre for Norway'', that I've been working on for a while now, together with Sverre Waage from Cirkus Xanti in Norway. 🪄🎩♟️🇸🇯 This report is produced by Cirkus Xanti and supported by Kulturdirektoratet and Oslo kommune. The report, which contains also a contribution by the French expert Jean-Michel Guy, presents the current state of circus as a performing art in Norway and discusses the necessary steps that would need to be taken, towards a complete Circus Centre. This would include a training space, a creation space, a presentation space, and a residency-research space. 👀🎪🏫 ✍️In the report, the writers look at the background and history of circus in Norway, as well as various options to be taken into consideration, depending on the decision-making and the possibilities. This means that a circus centre could be created on short, medium, and long-term with different measures to be taken for each case, also taking into account the specific characteristics of Norway as a country and a state. Adding to that, international examples of recently built and established circus centres are included, to underline how in each case, the best case scenario for them was selected. 🗣️The report hopes to contribute to the advocacy of the circus sector in general, and to be a kickstarter for further improvements, in Norway and abroad, in the establishment of the circus arts as a recognized performing art with an important place in society. To access it, check the following link, which takes you to a google drive folder containing the report, next to all the supporting artists comments, as well as additional material that was attached to it.🔗🖊️📄📂 Looking forward to any comments, feedback, spread the love♥️🔮

DMX lighting universe? Sure. Easy. LED jumbotron wall? Sure. Easy. Hardware, software, and content for a universe of individual light fixtures masquerading as a double-sided hall-length "screen"? ... Yeah, we do that too.
The Lake Effect. 3,910 LED lights dancing in harmony. Nine modules revealing Lake Michigan throughout the year. One unforgettable space within the 360 Chicago Experience: https://bit.ly/4cR3Jch

A powerful story told well will connect with you at a soul level… Storytelling at its finest yesterday at the Edward Scissorhands ✂️ ballet 🩰 Not a word spoken but the audience were gripped to their seats and lots of tears shed throughout (me included 😢) It’s one of my favourite films of all time but the ballet took it to another level - I was in awe Here are 5 personal reflections from this incredible performance about acceptance, identity, & compassion 🎭 1. Embrace your uniqueness and differences - celebrate your individuality and appreciate the beauty in what makes you different. Rather than conforming, embrace your quirks and find your own place in the world 2. Compassion transforms lives. Fact - the power of empathy and understanding can transform lives. Extend kindness to those who seem different or misunderstood. Everyone carries their own burdens and stories 3. Adaptability and resilience - life will throw curveballs your way so resilience is essential. Learn to pivot, find creative solutions, and keep moving FORWARD despite adversity 4 Appearances can deceive: - look beyond surface-level perfection and appreciate the complexities within ourselves and others. True beauty lies in authenticity and vulnerability 5. Love conquers all: - love doesn’t always follow conventional norms; it can bridge gaps and defy expectations. Cherish love wherever we find it, even if it defies societal norms ❓ anyone else out there ia fan of this movie? Have you seen Matthew Bourne’s adaptation in the ballet? 🩰 #sundayvibes #ballet #theatre #embraceuniqeness #edwardscissorhands https://lnkd.in/efpYyJPF - watch this ☺️

#The circus life# The roar of the crowd faded as the trapeze artist stuck the landing, a flawless dismount after a heart-stopping routine. Around me, applause thundered, but I sat with a hand nonchalantly resting on my knee. "Another day, another perfect trick," I thought, "Why clap? They're getting paid to do that." That's when Nik, a little firecracker of a kid beside me, nudged me. "They work really hard to do that, you know," he said, his eyes wide with awe. "Don't you think a clap or two would be nice?" His words struck a chord. Here I was, watching these performers take death-defying leaps and mind-bending contortions, and I hadn't even offered a courtesy clap. It felt a bit like how I treated my own work. I put in the hours, tackled challenges, yet rarely received a pat on the back from the boss. Suddenly, the circus wasn't just about juggling clowns and daring acrobats. It became a mirror reflecting my own indifference. If I craved appreciation for my efforts, shouldn't I extend the same courtesy to others? The next act, a dazzling display of horseback riding, had me clapping like a maniac. It wasn't just about the performance; it was a silent apology to the performers before, and a promise to myself – to acknowledge the effort behind everything, big or small. Because just like the thunderous applause that erupted after the horseback riding, a little appreciation can go a long way, both for the receiver and the giver. #AppreciationPost #ThankYou #HardWorkPaysOff #KindnessMatters #MakingADifference
