Full swing

on another 10-hr day full of performances. Some were absolute stand-outs; others... meh. 

I had a hard time choosing from a plethora of pix today. That's such a wonderful problem to have ;)

This pic (and the extras) are from an outfit called Zip Zap. It is notable, not just for its outstanding performance but for its mission: since its founding in 1992 in Cape Town, South Africa, The Zip Zap School of Circus Arts for Social Change has used the magic of circus to inspire young people and help build a new culture of peaceful coexistence in South Africa. Working with a diverse community of children from all backgrounds, Zip Zap’s programs help kids “Dare to Dream” and learn to make those dreams a reality.  Zip Zap programs are always free to the participants, with financial and material support coming from individuals, organizations, corporations, and foundations. Kuddos to them!
