Circus

A delightful theatrical event starring 100 fifth graders from Poughkeepsie’s Morse Elementary School.

Circus explores the circus arts of juggling, tumbling, clowning, partner acrobatics, and much more. Students using recycled items have created props for the show for juggling, balancing, clowning and acrobatics. This performance, the public culmination and highlight of a two week in-school residency, is an original circus show created from the students’ imaginations.

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.
