DREAMTIME ANNOUNCES PLANS FOR TOUR IN ECUADOR & PERU!

The Dreamtime Circus has announced the destination of its second international tour ~ Ecuador and Peru! The tour will begin in Lima, Peru at the end of 2009 and then head north, finishing in Ecuador in the Spring of 2010. Dreamtime has been in contact with several nonprofit organizations in both countries who have greeted news of the tour with enthusiasm and are eager to collaborate with the circus.

KFire, co- founder of the troupe, explained how this project will differ from Dreamtime's first tour. "In India we did shows for thousands of people from dozens of communities and we got to see a lot of the country. That was great, but for our second tour we want to spend more quality time in fewer places. We want to get to know the communities we visit and teach kids circus arts over the course of a few weeks, not just a few hours. Then we can let the kids be the stars of the show that we put on together for their family and friends!"

The tour will focus on reaching underserved communities in both countries. By providing free shows and workshops, Dreamtime aims to create events that bring communities together, support the work of local organizations, and empower youth to achieve things they once considered impossible. The tour will also promote positive themes of hope, self-empowerment, and respect for the Earth and all its creatures.

Over the course of 2009, Dreamtime will perform and host events in the Bay Area to raise funds for the tour. You can find out details about these events as they happen by subscribing to our Email List. You can also support the tour by making a tax-deductible donation here.


DREAMTIME AND VAGABOOM! - ONE MISSION - ONE ORGANIZATION?

The Dreamtime Circus and Bay Area based arts organization, VAGABOOM!, are considering a merger that would create one organization with programs that bring arts education and performance art to underserved communities both locally and globally.

"We make a great team," Dreamtime co-founder Chris Dunn said, "they've been doing fantastic work with after school arts programs in San Francisco and want to reach out to communities in other countries, while we've got international experience and returned to the Bay Area with a desire to bring our circus programs to local communities. The two organizations really compliment each other."

Dreamtime and VAGABOOM! expect to make a decision on whether or not to officially merge in early 2009. Either way, the two organizations expect to partner on projects both locally and abroad.
