Schools

Micky Bimble combines physical circus skills with mime, clown and character work as a means of engaging young people in cross-curricular activities.

"Contemporary circus is engaging on many levels for all ages. It is visually exciting and entertaining. It can be funny, strange, dangerous, challenging but primarily it's fun. I work combining the excitement of learning circus with the learning of Maths, Science and English"

Abacus Circus - applied maths made fun!

Abacus circus is an entertaining, interactive performance in an assembly format and employing clever use of circus props, clown and object manipulation skills. It is a comic semi-autobiographical account of a circus ringmaster's need to understand the maths behind the circus business. The mathematical problems encountered are thrown open to the floor to be solved with the assistance of a teacher on stage. With a short period of advanced planning the maths content in the shows can be tailored to achieve specific learning outcomes.

The show is created for, and performed to, three separate age ranges: years one and two, years three and four and years five and six. By running the shows (each, thirty to forty minutes long) back to back, I can perform to an entire school in a single morning.
