Cirqueon has opened a new area of application of circus techniques for therapeutic purposes: social circus. The first event in this field was an international workshop for professional contemporary circus lecturers organized by Cirqueon within the framework of the EDUCIRCATION project at the Bohnice Psychiatric Institution in Prague in the Fall of 2011.
Cirqueon organizes these social-circus projects:
Regular circus courses at the Bohnice Psychiatric Institution.
Since March, Cirqueon – A Center For Contemporary Circus has been providing regular circus courses at the Bohnice Psychiatric Institution.
The courses take place weekly at the Za Plotem (Behind The Fence) theater. One course is offered to children and one course is open to all adult patients from both the chronic and arrivals departments.
