Tom will come to your child's birthday party and not only entertain, but also encourage active participation and bring new inspiration to children of all ages. He provides all the equipment to demonstrate and teach juggling, diabolo, unicycling, balancing, stilt walking, poi, flower sticks and more.
Tom has an extensive knowledge of traditional children's games and will adapt his contribution depending on the age and needs of the children, mom's plans for the party, the weather and the space you have available. He loves to play and his goal is to create a fun-filled and playful afternoon with children experiencing new skills and learning new games.
Tom is a trained Games and Gymnastics teacher who has a special interest in Circus skills and Traditional children's games. He taught for 6 years at Wynstones Steiner School in Stroud , UK and has a training in Bothmer Gymnastics – a discipline that focuses on healthy movement development in children.
He has experience with different skill levels and knows what games are appropriate and what appeals to specific ages. What will work at a 6 year old party may not be wanted by a 9 year old!
The amount of circus work Tom is doing is steadily increasing so book well in advance to avoid disappointment!
Spacial Dynamics:
Following his Bothmer Gymnasics training Tom did a training in Spacial Dynamics in New York and Stuttgart. As a Spacial Dynamics practitioner he teaches healthy movement and posture – to help pain and injury and to enhance skills in sport and training. It is a useful therapy for many emotional difficulties including depression and anxiety.
Tom sees patients in both East London and Johannesburg. |
