Circus studies and presentations at SKH during Covid-19:

As with so many things, the Covid-19 pandemic has greatly influenced the kind of choices available for SKH’s Circus Department.

We are grateful for Aedin Walsh’s creativity in developing a live-streamed production with our 15 second-year Bachelor's students. Aedin’s approach and ingenuity allow the students to experience creation and performance while following the Covid guidelines for SKH.

Although perhaps not the creative constraint desired, it is a creative constraint Aedin has embraced. We also want to extend appreciation to the collaborative production team, a problem-solving group without whom this project would be impossible.

A note on ‘bubbles’: In discussion with the students and staff of the Circus Department and SKH administration, the Circus Department has created student ‘bubbles’ to reduce and prevent transmission of illness.

The 15 Bachelor's students are voluntarily in the same bubble – many of the students are in disciplinary partnerships and live in the same apartments. These students are separated by time, space, and hygiene procedures from other students at SKH. Throughout the training, creation and performance, clear cleaning, distancing, and, where appropriate, masking procedures have been followed.
