The Arts
Circus-motricity Manual
by Manlio Casali, Stefania Sala
Description
"Circus-motricity manual" is in effect a pioneering text, not so much because it invents something new, but rather because, for the first time, it engages in a double attempt: to contribute to the development and dissemination of circus arts as a valid playful tool / educational and design a very practical and concrete form of what is spoken of, to give pragmatism to myths and dreams.
And it is a manual that talks about motricity, that is the application of circus arts to a playful and experiential approach that can have important reflections on children. Not because it will make them circus artists. Not superheroes. Not child prodigies. But because it will be a beautiful experience for them, a thing made and lived with pleasure, with themselves, with others, with unexpected gratifications and the development of sociality. A game that improves their motor skills.
