*Bindlestiff Family Cirkus Winter Cabaret may be postponed*
**
Yesterday's unexpected closing of the Zipper Factory Theater, the scheduled
home of Bindlestiff Family Cirkus' 14th Annual Winter Cabaret Season, has
placed this years season in a flux.
The Bindlestiff's season was to open this Sunday with an amazing
international line-up. But the theatric tragedy may force New York to miss
a month of Bindlestiff's unique mix of circus, sideshow, vaudeville,
burlesque and cabaret. We are currently seeking an alternative venue. Stay
tuned.

Stephanie Monseu is offering circus skill workshops (for youth aged 8 and
up) in two locations:
Rhinebeck Dance Centre in Red Hook, New York
Morris Memorial in Chatham, New York
Students will be introduced to three-object juggling with balls, scarves,
rings, and clubs, and will learn solo and partner juggling patterns. They'll
also explore manipulative miscellanea like diabolos, balancing feathers,
plate spinning and poi; and work on stilts, rolla bolla, low tightwire, and
rolling globe.
