Westside Circus' Community Program provides an integrated circus skills program, encompassing life skill development, performance skills, and communication skills through the creation of structured opportunities for positive interaction between young people from diverse backgrounds. The emphasis is on cooperation rather than competition. The aim is for young people to significantly develop skills in leadership, positive risk taking, verbal and non verbal communication, decision making, and problem solving and conflict resolution. The aim is to facilitate increased understanding and acceptance across cultures and build new and meaningful connections.

Westside Circus Public Program classes further develop life skills including increasing confidence, taking initiative, positive communication and sharing which results in the participants feeling valued, engaged, confident and respected.

How will the funds be used?

The funds will go towards selecting participants from the various Westside Circus' Community Program Series and integrating them into Westside Circus' Public Program.

Integrating the Westside Circus' Community Program participants into the Public Program will build upon the participant's experience of physical, performance and circus skills (including acrobalance and circus manipulation, juggling, trust games, hoops, physical theatre and performance). As well as taking positive risks and supporting others the participants will have developed physical coordination and a real sense of personal satisfaction in their successes. Literacy through counting, word association, rhyming and storytelling give the participants higher levels of confidence in their second language, English.

Key Areas of Expenditure

Funds donated will go towards the program deliver of engaging, developing and coordinating the relationship between the participant and Westside Circus.
A small percentage of funds will also go towards Circus Trainer wages and space hire for the duration of the Public Program classes.
