Circus Smirkus is Coming to Town<\/p>\n
An experienced artist-in-residence will be here in our Sandwich Central School for 2 weeks, June 6-June 17, focusing on learning and developing skills with an eye toward performance on June 17. Everyone in town is invited to participate and it’s free!<\/p>\n
Parents of Sandwich Central School students are welcome, of course. But in addition, the entire community can have fun and benefit. Children who home-school are particularly welcome, and home-schooled kids from age 6 through 6th grade can join their peers at the school during the regular school day.<\/b> Anyone from 6 to 106 is welcome. If you want to learn some basic circus skills, there will be classes for you. If you would like to volunteer to help, you are needed.<\/p>\n
They need not only circus helpers but also folks who can help the students make costumes, paint background scenery and flags, make juggling balls and devil sticks, and much more.<\/p>\n
There will also be opportunities for some teenagers and adults to learn circus skills. Classes for them will be held in the evenings starting at 7 p.m., so older students and working folks can join. (They are not sure yet how many evening classes a week will be scheduled, but certainly not more than four.)<\/p>\n
Circus Smirkus was founded to provide a format for kids and adults to collaborate in life-enhancing adventures through the circus arts. Children and grownups learning new skills together without any element of competition is the heart of their educational philosophy.<\/p>\n
On the evening of June 17 there will be a real live circus at the school. If you have never seen a Circus Smirkus, you are in for a real treat. So even if you can’t participate, mark your calendars for Friday, June 17 for the greatest show on earth, right here in town.<\/p>\n
If you would like to take classes, volunteer, or ask questions, please reply by email to sinklercomcast.net or nmrussellgmail.com or, phone Becky Sinkler (284-6366) or Nan Russell (284-6328) to save a place for you. If you are calling to volunteer, let them know any special skills you may have.<\/p>\n
This program is sponsored by the Yoeman’s Fund for the Arts, Sandwich Home Industries, and The Quimby Fund.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Maybe I’m a cynicism addict, but do y’all think this is being set up to showcase how much fun g-school is? Else why the particular<\/i> welcome for HEKs?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
