Artist-in Residence Benjamin Domask-Ruh at Roseau Elementary School
February 2 – 6
Fourth grade students at Roseau Elementary will have the opportunity to learn Circus Arts and Performance the week of February 2nd – 6th. Circus artist, Benjamin Domask-Ruh will share his talents in circus arts with the classes for the week.
Benjamin Domask-Ruh is a performing artist who combines the skill and technique of juggling with the theory and philosophy of clown to create a unique blend of circus and theatre. His residencies are exciting and full of energy! In Benjamin’s words, “We all have the ability to learn. I focus on each individual student’s strengths while identifying their areas of growth potential. I then utilize proper teaching methods acquired through studies in Circus, Theatre, Sports, Dance, and Psychology to best suit a student’s learning style. Sometimes all it takes is that little moment of understanding to create a big moment of growth.”
We look forward to this fun and exciting learning opportunity. The residency was arranged with COMPAS. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Northwest Minnesota Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
