News



The busy summer months have quieted down and the Nablus Circus School has settled into it's academic year routine, but the work has not slowed! September marks the beginning of the 2nd phase of the Circus for Change / Mobile Circus project, which is now co-funded by both the Danish Center for Culture and Development and the Social Development Fund of the French Consulate. In the coming months, trainers will organize workshops in Awerta, Iraq Burin, Yanoun and Sawiya villages, all places where Assirk Assaghir performed in July. In addition, workshops will begin in Askar refugee camp for teen boys and girls.

In other news, Assirk Assaghir will begin a new project called "Dancing Colors" which will be the creation, production and touring of a black-light/glow show. Special effects and mezmorizing acts can be created using black light and glow-in-the-dark materials, something that is completely new in Palestine. This show will be created in the coming months and will be toured during the winter break between semesters. This project is made possible by the Arab Fund for Culture and Development, based in Beirut.
