Hello Mandinga fans,
A mid- quarterly-newsletter update from us to let you know about fantastic cause Mandinga are supporting.
Long Live the Big Top is a community project of young people coming from the most deprived areas of Cali, Colombia, who've chosen a life option through the circus arts. Circo Para Todos, the first professional circus school in the world dedicated to disadvantaged youth,is their home. Here they've trained to become professional artists and offer the world stage some of the most amazing and successful circus-dance shows.
Due to their success they've been donated a brand new beautiful big top to replace their old weathered tent. It will be bigger and can house more great future artists who are eagerly awaiting this new space.
Here is your chance to help Cirso Para Todos:
- put up this new big top
- install floor and seating
- christen this venue with an opening show.
Together we can make the new big top the ideal creation space for training and shows.
Come on, the artists are waiting…
Give what you can, or simply spread the word. Remember every £1 counts!
From all at Mandinga Arts.
