Matica Circus (duo)
A Circus duo to delight audiences of all ages with acts of daring and tremendous skill. Matica weaves joy, rowdiness and athleticism throughout this 40min interactive show featuring all sorts of juggling, many hula hoops, a really tall unicycle, sky-high tosses with a Chinese yo-yo and some beautiful acro-dance with a devil stick! It is a great fit for festivals, schools, libraries and parties. Acts can also be performed individually with sophisticated costuming to please corporate settingsWe can also follow up the show with CIRCUS WORKSHOPS In groups of 20-30, we introduce a myriad of circus skills! We start with a demonstration and have kids rotate through stations learning juggling, plate spinning, flower sticks, Chinese-yoyo, hula hooping. In a 1 day workshop we'll generally see groups for an hour and can have multiple groups in a day- different structures can be accommodated. We can also do workshops including stilt walking and tumbling. Smaller groups and two coaches are needed for stilt walking. These can also be stand alone workshops without the show
Matica's performance was raucous and good natured, alternately exciting their audience and calming them with music. The children were delighted by the vast array of exotic instruments and, without knowing it, got a terrific geography lesson. We would happily welcome Matica back to Hartford Public Library again and we encourage other libraries to have them.
