Matica provides fun and challenging workshops in the circus arts- as 1 day workshop or multi-day residency. Participants will explore ball juggling, devil sticks, Chinese yo-yo, spinning plates and hula hoop. In multi day residency we may also be able to offer unicycling, acrobatics and stilt walking- depending on the space provided and the number of participants. Matica also works with students on performance skills, confidence, body awareness and the creation of new acts. Residencies culminate in a live performance for a family or peer audience.
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.
