School and extracurricular activities in Bondy

1) Juggling workshops: the making of a show

A series of workshops lasting 2 hours a day over a week during the school vacations, with the possibility of a performance for groups from elementary leisure centers. This cycle of workshops is complemented by a spectator’s pathway through the organization of an outing to a presentation of a stage of work by an artist and/or company in residence in Bondy. These workshops enable students to discover the variety of juggling techniques, using different objects to manipulate (balls, clubs, rings, hoops, plastic bags, hats, everyday objects, etc.) and to appropriate the
artistic universes of the shows they are discovering at the same time. They encourage the development of the imagination and collective practice. They provide students with an opening onto contemporary creation. The residency outing is discussed and processed in workshops to develop the critical eye of young spectators. A complete program to see, do and analyze contemporary juggling in a fun and participative way.

2) Mini jugglers

A course adapted for children in kindergarten, with 7 sessions of 1.5 hours each to discover and practice juggling. This program helps develop fine and gross motor skills. The medium of juggling and object manipulation is a particularly rich one for supporting this development. These friendly, creative activities have a positive impact on their physical and social development.

3) Juggling Wednesdays

A juggling and creation course in preparation for the Carnaval de la Ville for 2 groups from elementary leisure centers during extra-curricular time, with 7 sessions of 1.5 hours each. Children discover juggling and are invited to create short solo or group acts. We use classical and other juggling objects and techniques to teach juggling through play, rather than in a purely technical and disciplinary way. We also introduce techniques for writing with rhythm and movement.

4) Re-Bondyr

A course for the town’s elementary classes during school time, with 7 weekly sessions and a cultural outing to the Faces à face show by the Faro company, presented on Tuesday May 12, 2026 at the Salle Malraux as part of the Journée des Enfants du cœur of the Rencontre des Jonglages festival. We aim to pass on juggling technique as a language, in its physical and creative scope. It offers students a way in, not through expertise, but through collective juggling games, and the sharing of an alphabet book accessible to all. This approach enables them to find themselves more quickly in a situation of success, then to move towards a personal writing style, not only formal but expressive.A complete course enabling children to practice juggling, create their own little numbers and discover a contemporary circus show.
