Zanzibar Circus slates shows in Iloilo
Zanzibar Circus, a famous circus in France, is currently in town to perform a series of shows in Iloilo City and Passi City.
The show is in collaboration with the Chameleon Association Inc., an NGO that offers shelter for physically and sexually abused girls.
Zanzibar Circus does not only entertain its audience, it also teaches children the therapeutic effects of circus arts.
The group also wants to establish relationships with schools and universities in Iloilo City and Passi City in order to include circus arts in their Physical Education (P.E.) classes or art programs. Teaching circus arts could benefit students as they could earn from it later when they already become professional performers.
The schedule of the shows are as follows:
June 30, 2006 -- Ateneo de Iloilo, 9:30 am (only for the students of the school).
July 1, 2006 -- Brgy. Gines, Passi City, 10 am (free)
