Calling Stiltwalkers

If you'd like to learn to walk on stilts, or already can, please get in touch. I'm hoping to put together a stiltwalking group for a parade by next spring. Check out www.stiltmen.com for some pics of fun on stilts.

Announcing Stone Soup Circus!

Stone Soup Circus is our chosen name for community circus activities in the Princeton area. We're building a website, and I'll include a link here as soon as it's up and running.

We chose Stone Soup Circus because of the story where a group of villagers all put whatever they have in a pot and make a delicious meal. The same can happen in performance if everyone contributes and supports one another.

Here's the latest:

Arts Council drop-ins are lots of fun - join in on July 25, 28 or Aug 4 1pm to 3pm

September 3 we are putting on a 'scratch' performance at the Arts Council. Drop me an e-mail if you'd like to participate and can be available between 4pm and 6pm on that day: you@zoebrookes.com

In the fall, the Arts Council is now planning two circus programs. One, taught by me, will focus on performance skills, the other, taught by Maria Evans, will focus on making props, puppets and a mural for the circus.

Plans are already afoot for summer camps next year. Likely there will be more than one, but I'm planning Stone Soup Circus camp in the first two weeks of area private schools' vacation at Trinity Church, Princeton.

In the meantime, we're working towards a public performance at Communiversity in April and, I hope, plenty of others in between.
