Abstract The aim of this study is to analyze the potential of circus activities in the reinterpretation of interpersonal relationships in school daily life, encouraged by the artistic and affective expansion throughout the teaching and learning process of this corporal practice. The process was developed during an academic semester, in a public (municipal) school in the city of Bauru-SP, with the participation of 28 children from a class of 5th year of Elementary School. Data analysis, based on content analysis, showed three categories corresponding to body practices, aesthetic experiences and children's protagonism and collective as potentializers for the transformation of social relationships. In the first category, cooperation and respect were strengthened. The second promoted exchanges of experiences and collective artistic creation, and the third the strengthening of autonomy and dialogue. As a result, circus activities prove to be a powerful path for the qualitative (re)construction of social relations at school.
