The recent massive expansion of circus training spaces required a renewal of pedagogical approaches for serving a varied audience, with little or no previous experience with circus practice. This research describes an integrative methodology of introduction to circus training based on creativity and education on physical expression. One objective was to create an alternative to skills acquisition-based learning. Research’s theoretical grounding understands circus as an artistic language, integrating socio-cultural values and aesthetic-expressive fundamentals. The reflection on ‘what is to circus?’ served as an epistemological guide for a research-action design with five years of experiments in the extension/research project Cirthesis, of the Department of Physical Education at the Federal University of Paraná (Curitiba, Brazil). The learning methodology a) uses Physical Education game theories as an educational resource for creation; b) identifies common aesthetic qualities of circus performances as a basis for expression (risk, sublime, grotesque, and comic); c) creates circus exercises inspired by educational dance, physical theatre, rhythmic, and physical conditioning. This article describes the general planning for an introduction to circus training and explains the process of lesson creation. The methodology was effective in providing resources for the learner to give dramatic expression alongside the learning of circus skills.

最近马戏培训空间的大规模扩张需要更新教学方法来为不同的观众提供服务，而这些观众以前很少或根本没有马戏练习的经验。本研究描述了一种基于创造力和身体表达教育的马戏培训介绍综合方法。一个目标是创造一种替代基于技能的学习的方法。研究的理论基础将马戏理解为一种艺术语言，融合了社会文化价值观和审美表达基础。对“什么是马戏团？”的反思 在巴拉那联邦大学（巴西库里提巴）体育系的扩展/研究项目 Cirthesis 中担任研究行动设计的认识论指南，并进行了五年的实验。学习方法 a) 使用体育博弈论作为创造的教育资源；b) 确定马戏表演的共同审美品质作为表达的基础（冒险、崇高、怪诞和喜剧）；c) 受教育舞蹈、体育戏剧、节奏和身体条件的启发，创建马戏练习。本文描述了马戏培训入门的总体规划，并解释了课程创建的过程。该方法有效地为学习者提供了在学习马戏技能的同时进行戏剧性表达的资源。c) 受教育舞蹈、体育戏剧、节奏和身体条件的启发，创建马戏练习。本文描述了马戏培训入门的总体规划，并解释了课程创建的过程。该方法有效地为学习者提供了在学习马戏技能的同时进行戏剧性表达的资源。c) 受教育舞蹈、体育戏剧、节奏和身体条件的启发，创建马戏练习。本文描述了马戏培训入门的总体规划，并解释了课程创建的过程。该方法有效地为学习者提供了在学习马戏技能的同时进行戏剧性表达的资源。
