CircEsteem programs give students a chance to shine as center-ring stars in their very own circus, enhancing self-esteem as they overcome obstacles, achieve goals, and proudly exclaim, "Look what I can do!" Fostering confidence and cooperation, our professional circus staff teaches a variety of skills such as clowning, juggling, stilt-walking, ball-walking, unicycling, gym wheel and acrobatics. Students progress at their own pace while working hands-on with instructors in a safe and supportive environment.
CircEsteem clowns deliver care through comedy at Children’s, Rush Memorial, UIC and Loyola hospitals. We not only lift the spirits of kids, families, and hospital staff but also give them the opportunity to spin a plate or balance a feather. After all, laughter is the best medicine.
