Circus

THE PROVINCETOWN INDEPENDENT

By Kathi Scrizzi Driscoll – August 2, 2023

WELLFLEET — A live scarecrow tumbles, sways, and hangs — precarious and loose-limbed — high above a field. Farmhands wildly flip ears of corn as crops “multiply.” A unicycle seems to till soil, red scarves become a barn fire’s flames, animal puppets dance.

The Payomet Cirque by the Sea squad, including professional performers and instructors Teddy Ment, Eleanor Getz, Trevor Pearson and Georgie Johnson, were invited for a gym class take-over at Truro Central School, and by the looks of it– the students (and teachers!) had a blast practicing with the Cirque team. One of the beautiful things about circus and young people, is that not only does the training challenge their physical abilities, it also builds confidence. We can't wait to be invited back!

CAPE COD TIMES  - When I spoke to the folks at Payomet in Truro about attending the morning exercise classes I mentioned I was a regular walker but not a flyer.
