Doo Wop Circus

This two-week residency with 65 students from Miller Middle School combines basic circus arts disciplines with a new theme each year. Teaching Artist Sean Fagan breaks down the theme, laying a relevant yet subtle language base for the full learning experience. Lessons teach children to use their own physical bodies to make something work; acrobatics, tumbling, juggling and clowning support this idea.  The exercises and show preparations motivate the students to use their imaginations, share ideas, keep practicing, and not give up on themselves.

Theater/Circus Arts Teaching Artist Sean Patrick Fagan has toured the world as a performer, beguiling his audiences in the international language of laughter. He has entertained and educated children of all ages for more than ten years and has worked for some of the premier children’s entertainment organizations including Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, Walt Disney Inc., Nickelodeon Jr. Television, and Scholastic’s Magic School Bus Live. Fagan has a “Fun Arts” degree from Ringling’s Clown College.
