Cyrk w plecaku – Introduction to circus arts in Puławy

Cyrk w plecaku is a weekly juggling and circus arts workshop offered by the Puławski Ośrodek Kultury «Dom Chemika», a cultural center located in Puławy, in eastern Poland.

Launched in September 2026, this program welcomes children aged 7 to 10 and allows them to discover several object manipulation disciplines in a fun and educational setting.

Discover juggling

Participants are introduced to classical juggling and gradually learn to coordinate their movements.

The exercises are designed to develop concentration , precision of movement , and hand-eye coordination.

Learning is based on repetition, experimentation, and the discovery of new patterns.

The diabolo

Diabolo is one of the disciplines taught in the workshop.

The children discover how to control the object using two sticks connected by a string, throw it, catch it and gradually perform different figures.

This activity develops coordination , a sense of rhythm , and mastery of movements.

The poi

The program also includes the manipulation of poi, accessories consisting of masses attached to ropes or flexible chains.

Participants learn to perform circular movements and coordinate trajectories.

Practice helps to develop fluidity of movement , attention and awareness of space.

The flower stick

The flower stick, also called flower stick , is another discipline offered.

Children learn to keep the stick moving using two control sticks and to experiment with different manipulations.

This practice develops dexterity , coordination and patience .

A pedagogical approach adapted to children

Cyrk w plecaku prioritizes the pleasure of discovering circus arts rather than the immediate pursuit of performance.

Participants are encouraged to try new techniques, persevere, and progress at their own pace.

The activities require concentration, motor coordination, patience and dexterity.

Regular teaching

The workshops are led by Robert Chojnacki and organized every Wednesday afternoon .

Each session lasts an hour and a half , allowing children to discover the disciplines and practice regularly.

The program is an introductory amateur activity and does not constitute professional training in circus arts.
