If your child entertains fantasies of running off with the circus, you might want to sign her up for this summer's first-ever Camp ZinZanni, put on by the ZinZanni Institute for Circus Art. (Yes, that's their real name. This is serious stuff.)
Two six-day sessions will teach 11- to 15-year-olds how to juggle and create characters like the ones that Teatro ZinZanni [1] is famous for. Instructors are, of course, members of the troupe's cast and staff, who will share their love for the art of circus performance.
Each session will wrap up with a live show for family and friends in Teatro ZinZanni's antique red velvet spiegeltent. The sessions will be held in July and August, and the tuition for each is $350. For more information or to sign up, check out the ZinZanni Web site [2].
