2008 Camp Description
Camp ZinZanni, a six-day summer day camp presented by Teatro ZinZanni in its antique Belgian spiegeltent for children ages 11 to 15, gives forty campers per session the chance to learn basics of juggling and character/scene development through workshops with some of the world's greatest cirque artists and stage technicians.
Under the tutelage of professional jugglers and performers, the campers will start working with scarves, balls, rings and clubs. By the end of the week, the kids should be proficient in at least one of these standard juggling techniques.
Swept up into the life of the circus, the campers will spend their days working individually and in teams. The first part of the day is spent learning new circus skills. Later, they will attend workshops on clowning, character development, costumes, make-up, sound and lighting taught by Teatro ZinZanni cast and staff members. The final lesson of each day combines the day's training, and builds on the previous day to arrive at a fully developed character and scene by the conclusion of the camp.
The week culminates in a free revue-style performace by the campers for family and friends under Teatro ZinZanni's antique red velvet spiegeltent.
