It's amazing how life can carry you away. We have been meaning to keep up to date/and reflect on Suddenly Circus for so long but, ahem, life got in the way. We had an amazing Summer full of Spontaneous Circus, thanks to our friends at Burners without Borders who gave us a very generous grant for materials. http://burnerswithoutborders.org/starma-circus
One challenge we faced was a VERY RAINY Northeast Summer. Practically all of the dates we set were rained out, so we had to do what circus people do best-IMPROVISE!
We extended and changed our goals and brought our circus toys, hoops, dress up clothes and energy to the far corners of New England(and Central America!)
This is a photo respective of some of the amazing times we had-And it's not over yet! Through this experience we have realized just how valuable spontaneous play can be, and plan to bring a more organized, festival version of Suddenly Circus back to Central America and work with Village kids who are starving for some expressive arts.
In the pictures you see Starma at Inner City playgrounds, libraries, art festivals, Fundraising dinners, and the beach in Belize!
We hope you enjoy the virtual journey! Please contact us at moonshipmail@gmail.com if you are interested in participating in future projects!
Much Love and Light!
