Jessica Hentoff, Artistic Executive Director of Circus Harmony, stopped by to talk about the mission and works of the organization. ------   Circus Harmony is a non-profit social circus organization that uses circus arts to motivate social change. By inspiring individuals and connecting communities with our circus education and entertainment programs, we have a positive impact on the St. Louis area and beyond. ——— Our programs teach valuable life skills like perseverance, focus, and teamwork. Learning circus with others teaches trust, responsibility and cooperation. Perhaps the most important experience we give our participants is the opportunity to meet and interact with children from different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds than their own. ——— We believe the path to peace is a path of cooperation and communication. Teaching children from different neighborhoods how to stand on each other's shoulders may seem like a strange way to take this path. But it's the technique we use! Circus Harmony promotes peace through pyramids, joy through juggling and harmony through handsprings. ——— About Jessica Hentoff: Jessica has been teaching and performing circus arts for over 40 years. Ms. Hentoff has been using circus arts to motivate social change since she founded the St. Louis Arches youth circus performance troupe in 1989. She created Circus Harmony in 2001 to expand youth circus opportunities for St. Louis youth. In 2009, Ms. Hentoff was named both St. Louis Arts Innovator of the Year and Outstanding Arts Educator of the Year.

They include St. Louis natives Melvin Diggs, Sidney ‘Iking’ Bateman, Terrance ‘T-Roc’ Robinson and Chauncey Kroner. Hentoff couldn’t be more proud of them — and just returned from travels to Vancouver and Chicago this past weekend where she watched them perform.

Sep. 5, 2015. At the 2015 Library of Congress National Book Festival in Washington, D.C., Cynthia Levinson explores the world of social circus — a movement that brings kids form different worlds together to perform remarkable acts on a professional level.?? Levinson follows the participants of two specific circuses that also work together periodically: Circus Harmony, in St. Louis, whose participants are inner-city and suburban kids, and Circus Galilee in Israel, whose participants are Jews and Arabs. Speaker Biography: A writer of nonfiction books and articles for young adults, Cynthia Levinson has publications in many well-respected children’s magazines, including Appleseeds, Calliope, Cobblestone, Highlights for Children and Odyssey. Her first book was “We’ve Got a Job: The 1963 Birmingham Children’s March,” which tells the stories of more than 3,000 children who marched to protest segregation and were arrested and jailed in Birmingham, Ala. Her newest book is “Watch Out for Flying Kids: Two Circuses, Two Countries and Nine Kids Confront Conflict and Build Community." The story follows nine teenagers across two circuses as they confront racism and tribalism, and deal with obstacles on physical, personal and political levels.
