Circus at a distance

On December 1st we delivered our circus advent calendar to every child who requested it. Every day a proposal, an activity, a surprise. One day Santa Lucia even came by and gave every child a pastry in the village bar, then on December 20th we brought a bit of circus to take away from every house (80 mini performances, 21 municipalities and 14 artists and a command center managed by Santa Claus). Below is a small extract of the day.

Letters from the circus: treasure hunt for the children of the Micro and Piccolo Circo. In every town where at least one small or micro circus performer lives, we hide a letter to find every week. In this letter, a message from the instructors and an activity to do at home. Here are the links to the photos you sent us.

• The fourth letter - from November 23, 2020
• The photos of the third letter - from November 16, 2020
• The photos of the second letter - from November 9, 2020
• The photos of the first letter - from November 2, 2020

Mimetismo Urbano

Sai cos'è il mimetismo urbano? Trova uno scorcio nel tuo comune che ti incuriosisce e prova a mimetizzarti. Mandaci la foto. Il mimetismo migliore riceverà un premio all'inCirca.

La sfida si è conclusa con la vittoria alle Medie!!! Se sei del team Medie potrai ricevere la maglietta in premio! Scrivici un messaggio con nome e taglia e provvederemo a fartela avere!

A dicembre invece un calendario dell'avvento digitale che si è intersecato con il calendario dell'avvento dei bambini il 14 dicembre, quando a ciascuno è stato offerto un pasticcino presso il bar del proprio paese.

Below is the epilogue of "The Adventures of Master Max". We thank all the little circus people for participating by sending us proposals and videos.

Also the video message from all the instructors on our proposal regarding the hoped-for reopening.

The adventures of Maestro Max continue. Two episodes whose epilogues are also determined by the little superheroes who follow him and help him from home.

The story of Etciù for 3-year-old children prepared by teachers Elisa and Elena also continues. Here is the link.

Below are the two episodes of "The Adventures of Maestro Max" released in the week from May 4th to 8th.

A light at the end of the tunnel? We have worked on various summer hypotheses. In the meantime, the Circo all'inCirca's response to the safety distance imposed by the Corona Virus continues with the "Adventures of Master Max".

Every day an episode at the end of which children can choose how to continue the story. Just write a WhatsApp message to 340 6052371 to tell us how to continue the story by choosing between the two options indicated at the end of the video.

The story of Etciù prepared by teachers Elisa and Elena for 3-year-old children also continues. Here is the link.

Below is the trailer and the first five videos of "The Adventures of Maestro Max" released from April 28th to May 2nd.

A week in which, instead of proposing exercises, games and challenges, teachers proposed a new circus video every day to enjoy with dad and mom. Old clips of the Circo all'inCirca company or of friendly companies or shows that over the years have come to Udine within the events organized by our Association. Below are the links to the suggested videos:

It starts on April 20th with "A Vore" - now a classic from the Circo all'inCirca repertoire. Created by Davide Perissutti and Marco Floran in 2014. Here is the extract from Premio Giovani Realtà del Teatro, in which the performance earned the jury's special mention. The comedy show continues to tour in various forms even today.

on April 21st there's been the exit of Luca Lugari, a long-time friend of Circo all'inCirca, co-founder of the company "Ceocifa". The exit is the equivalent of a degree, the work that closes three years of training at the Higher School of Circus in Brussels, recognized in all respects as a degree.

April 22nd is the turn of Florencia Merello Balbontin. You saw her if you came to Ristori di Cividale, during the performance "Macchine all'inCirca". Or you saw her training in the gym, she is a dear Chilean friend who studies circus between Italy and France and who occasionally teaches at Circo all'inCirca. This promo video was filmed in Friuli in December 2019.

April 23rd is the turn of Silvia, our aerial acrobatics and Chinese pole teacher. She says she is a retired artist, but in reality it is still difficult to "keep up with her". Here is an amateur shot of her performance created together with the musician Paolo Paron for the Circus Night of 2015. We were still in our first gym!

On April 24th we closed with another memory from the past. It was 2014 and Mattia met Klara thanks to a social circus project in Turkey. Who would have thought that in a few years they would first create an unusual Friulian-Czech couple, then a company called Circo Frico and finally "start a family". Here is a fragment from 2016 forgotten on the web, they were creating the show BB2, which will debut in 2018, two years later, at the "Letni Letna" festival in Prague - with the directing help of Davide Perissutti.

For this special week, the teachers have organized a series of video conferences with the various groups of children. We called almost everyone to see how you were, we made an appointment on zoom and there we told each other what we are doing in this absurd and surreal Easter week in the name of Coronavirus. 

In addition, since April 13, there have been active WhatsApp groups reserved for teenagers where teachers send proposals, videos, suggestions and challenges. Just send a message to sign up. Here is the direct link.

Here is the video invitation message sent by the teachers to all the children.

Lhe second week was characterized by board games. The instructors have dealt with the "table circus" by inventing some games that can be downloaded, printed and used as a pastime or as an alternative to circus training. The great thing is that you can play them as many times as you want.
