[Fun for the whole family]
Bindlestiff Family Cirkus presents a special showcase for young variety
performers, ranging from amateurs to world-class professionals. Juvenile
jugglers, diminutive dancers, adolescent acrobats and a host of other
moppets and mummers present a full show of vernal vaudeville. Acts range
from debuting amateurs to world-class champion performers—all under the age
of 21.
Entering its sixth year, Bindlestiff’s Cavalcade continues to feature an
amazing array of young talent. These are the future stars of Cirque du
Soleil, Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, and television. Where
else can you see juvenile unicyclists, tap dancers, magicians, clowns, and
contortionists sharing the stage with Broadway-bound singers and classically
trained musicians? Order your tickets early, recent performances have been
sold-out sensations.

*NEW YORK CENTER FOR VARIETY ARTS*
So an acrobat, a ventriloquist, and a Burlesque queen walked into a
building.... We're spearheading an effort to create a performance,
practice, and research space devoted to the Variety Arts. The space will
focus on the specific needs of the local Variety Arts community and will
attract artists from around the world. This exciting project is still in the
early stages, but it is moving rapidly. If you're interested in getting
involved, would like to pledge your financial (or physical, intellectual, or
emotional) support, or you happen to know of a large, conveniently located
empty space, please let us know! More details coming soon.

*Support the Variety Arts*
We ask for your contribution in support of the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus and
our mission to promote, develop and sustain the variety arts.
This year started with a loss—not just to Bindlestiff, but to the variety
arts community and beyond. The Zipper Factory Theater, which was a
stronghold of the variety arts in NYC, unexpectedly shut its doors on
January 14, just days before the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus Winter Cabaret
was scheduled to open there. The cost of losing this venue goes far beyond
our own promotional and travel expenditures.
In hard times, we draw closer, cultivate our connections and strengthen our
bonds. If you feel a connection to Bindlestiff—if our unconventional vision
and values speak to you, if you consider yourself a Bindlestiff at heart, or
if you just love coming to our shows—we invite you to deepen that connection
this year by making a tax-deductible financial contribution.
We need your help to continue creating provocative, thrilling performances,
conducting youth programs that develop skills and self-esteem, and
cultivating a vital community of variety artists, all while keeping ticket
prices accessibly low.
Your donation, whether large or small, will support our programs and help us
recover from this recent setback. It is also a reminder that you believe in
the work we do. In the meantime, we remain committed to our mission, and we
look forward to seeing you at the Cabaret.
Tax-deductible donations can be made at
http://www.bindlestiff.org/menu/donate.html
or by sending a check or money order
to Bindlestiff Family Variety Arts, Inc., PO Box 1917, New York, NY 10009.
Bindlestiff Family Variety Arts, Inc. is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit
organization devoted to the preservation and evolution of the variety
arts.

*Support the Variety Arts*
We ask for your contribution in support of the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus and
our mission to promote, develop and sustain the variety arts.
This year started with a loss—not just to Bindlestiff, but to the variety
arts community and beyond. The Zipper Factory Theater, which was a
stronghold of the variety arts in NYC, unexpectedly shut its doors on
January 14, just days before the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus Winter Cabaret
was scheduled to open there. The cost of losing this venue goes far beyond
our own promotional and travel expenditures.
One of the few variety-friendly venues in NYC whose dimensions allowed for
the full expression of circus artistry—aerial performance, target bullwhip,
skilled juggling, stilt walking—has been shuttered. This venue was also one
of the few spaces in which self-producing groups could afford to work. With
its closure a dozen performing arts groups and scheduled shows suddenly
became homeless, including our beloved Winter Cabaret, now an institution in
its 14th year.
Nearly two months later, we have finally found a new home for the Cabaret:
Dixon Place will house the Cabaret in March, April and May, and will also
host this season's Cavalcade of Youth. But recent events are a powerful
reminder of how vulnerable the arts are in times of economic turmoil. It
seems clearer than ever that we need to stick together in order to survive
and thrive.
In hard times, we draw closer, cultivate our connections and strengthen our
bonds. If you feel a connection to Bindlestiff—if our unconventional vision
and values speak to you, if you consider yourself a Bindlestiff at heart, or
if you just love coming to our shows—we invite you to deepen that connection
this year by making a tax-deductible financial contribution.
