Juggling Therapy Project

Surely you have already eared about dance therapy or theatre therapy. The practice of juggling involves some aspects of both theatre and dance.

Help to achieve social skills giving the chance to learn the unique and fascinating art of juggling, give to the people who live in the shadow of the society something to be glad of, be able to do something that most people simply can't do, and learn to do this in a playful setting that creates moments in which the interpersonal relationship is a need, in which you have to get in touch with other people, share your ability and find a common rhytm.
That's why we think that a juggling group can be succesfully used in the rehabilitation of people with psychiatric diseases.

Juggling therapy project was born in Italy in 2007 when juggling was introduced as a part of the rehabilitative path in a psyco-social centre of a public hospital, you can read more about this experience that is still working in the "about J-t section".

2008 AYCO Conference

I just got back from the American Youth Circus Organization's educators conference in Boulder CO where I had the chance to do a presentation and show what is juggling-therapy project. It was an opportunity for me to take some conclusions on what we're doing and to share my experience with a lot of people that in different ways are helping the others using the circus arts. You can find what I said in my talk here. (20/10/08)
