THE DREAMTIME PERUVIAN TOUR ~ MARCH – JUNE 2010

In the schools and streets of Lima, orphanages in Cuzco, and jungle villages accessible only by boat, a circus is coming to town! That’s right, the Dreamtime Circus sets sail on its 2nd international tour, this time bringing the magic of the circus to Peru where Dreamtime volunteers will put on free shows and circus workshops for communities throughout the country. Dreamtime will be collaborating with several nonprofit organizations, schools, and orphanages who have greeted news of the tour with enthusiasm and are eager to host the circus in their community.

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 throughout Peru. 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.

From now until the start of the tour in March 2010, Dreamtime will perform and host events in the Bay Area to raise funds for the tour.

DREAMTIME AND VAGABOOM! COME TOGETHER
TO FORM “LIVING DREAM ARTS”

It’s official, the Dreamtime Circus and Bay Area based arts education organization, VAGABOOM!, have merged to create a new 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization called Living Dream Arts. The new organization will umbrella programs that bring arts education and performance art to underserved communities both locally and globally. The two organizations will operate independently while Living Dream Arts awaits its non profit determination from the IRS, but they expect the new organization to be up and running by the beginning of 2010.

"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."
