Post 37: End of Term Showing
At the end of the summer term the whole of LYC put on a show for friends, family and other students. All students specialising in static trapeze created their own solos to perform for the audience.
I created my solo to a piece of music called 'Release Me' by Oh Laura. I really enjoyed devising my solo and I am proud of the finished product that I got the chance perform!
Post 36: Planning My Parent and Child Class Warm Up
Grace and I initially started planning our parent and child class warm up after the artist meet and greet session. We had three activities that we wanted to do, after this we emailed our plan into the youth circus team and we were told to alter our plan slightly to make it slightly easier as the parents don't train regularly. After this we showed our improved plan to our trapeze teacher Claire and she told us that our plan was good and that it would work well to warm up the parents. The following week we put our plan into action and ran the warm up for the parents!
Post 35: Post Show Discussion~ It's Not Yet Midnight
In the post show discussion, the other arts award students and I spoke about the show 'It's not yet midnight' and compared it to other shows we have seen, for example 'Catch Me'. We talked about how the show had a great message about teamwork. We said that the show was very engaging for the audience, and the stage presence was very good as even when very few performers were on the stage, the large space always felt full.
All of the students really enjoyed the show and it inspired us to continue to develope our skills and talents to someday be able to do some of the mesmerising tricks we saw in the show.
Post 34: This is Carmela’s feedback on my review of ‘It’s not yet midnight’.
Post 33: My Circus Goals
At the beggining of the arts award project I made a circus goals list for the end of term. While I didn't achieve all my goals I achieved a good amount of them and more that I didn't even have on my goals list!
Overall I am proud with what I achieved this term and I can't wait for next term when I can learn even more!
Post 32: Artist Meet And Greet
As part of our arts award, the other students and I were able to meet some artists who are part of the circus industry. One artist who really stuck out to me was Silvia Fratelli as she did similar things to what I do at circus. And that is why I chose Silvia as my artist to research. Silvia was very nice to talk to and she had some very useful tips for my friends and me! For example she told me to always keep my options open and do as many skills as I could to be as versatile as possible.
Post 31: Book Club Session
A few weeks ago all the arts award students came together to talk about how accurately circus is portrayed in the media. During this session we found out that quite often circus is portrayed as a bad thing, 'not a real job' or even that it is a shaming to be part of a circus. All of the arts award students were told to bring in an example of how circus was portrayed in the media.
I brought in a movie clip from the film 'Coraline'. In this scene two characters from the movie, take of their 'skin' and become flying trapeze artists. The arts award students had mixed responses to how they felt about this representation of circus. I personally thought that it respresented circus in a fun way as all the characters in the scene all enjoyed taking part in and/or watching the performance.
Overall I think that we need to work towards a society that doesn't have so many negative misconceptions about circus.
You and Grace delivered a well thought-out warm up plan. You added an element of fun with your choice of game and well considered exercises to warm up the whole body efficiently. In the future don’t be afraid to speak a little louder. Overall, you did a great job - well done!

Post 27: Parent and Child Class~Sunday 25th June
Last Sunday I had the opportunity to co-lead a 15 minute warm up for parents and teach my mum some basic skills on the static trapeze. My mum and I both really enjoyed doing the class too.
Myself and Grace had to devise a warm up for a group of parents in which we decided to: •Play stuck in the mud, with jumping jacks •Mobility exercises •Animal running across the room
When devising the warm up we had to make sure that it prepared the parents to do static trapeze, we had to make sure that the parents were not going to injure themselves throughout the class.
I really enjoyed being able to share my skill with my mum and I feel that I was good at picking skills that would suit my mum. However, at times it was hard to explain how to do something, or what specifically to do as I am so used to just having the movements as second nature.
One thing that surprised me about the whole experience was that the parents were able to do many moves that some regular LYC students find hard to perform. This was interesting as it shows that all people find certain things easier or harder or they generally do or don’t enjoy performing, even first time trapeze artists!
Post 26: In my Friday acro practice time class, I was working on my front aerials. After many attempts I finally managed to do a few off of the spring board and onto a crash mat. In the last few weeks of term I’m going to continue working on them in my acro classes. And I hope to get them on the floor soon!
Post 25: Parent child day at LYC was so much fun! Teaching my mum to do static trapeze was great! :)

Post 21: For part of my bronze arts award I have to comment on other people’s work. So here we are! I really agreed with this review of Company XY’s show: It’s not yet midnight.
Post 20: I loved flying on an outdoor rig with a catcher for the first time at Gorilla Circus!! 😊❤️
