SUPER SCIENTIFIC CIRCUS

THE FCCJ ARTIST SERIES PRESENTS

IN JACKSONVILLE
APRIL 25, 2009 11:00 AM & 2:00 PM
WILSON CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS

JACKSONVILLE, FL – Step right up for this amazing show, creatively performed by a multi-talented circus clown and a mime extraordinaire. The Super Scientific Circus starring Mr. Fish and Trent the Mime, proves that science can be fun and funny. Alternately assisted and foiled by the comedic antics of Trent the Mime, Mr. Fish uses amazing circus skills that could involve everything from boomerangs, bubbles and beachballs, to bull whips, and magic to introduce the principles of friction, inertia, centripetal force, aerodynamics, sonic booms, air pressure, and ultraviolet light.

Super Scientific Circus comes to Jacksonville’s Wilson Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday, April 25, 2009 at 11:00AM and 2:00PM.

The audience learns how to make and throw their own boomerangs, how to blow giant soap bubbles, and how to put a needle through a balloon. Whether you flunked high school chemistry or have a PhD in astrophysics, you will love this show!
