*** About Circus Camp Since 1989 Open Hand Theater's Puppet Circus Camp has provided a creative and diverse summer program for hundreds of children from all over Central New York and beyond. Campers and graduates return year after year, because ... there is nothing else like it! Open Hand's own professional artistic staff and guest artists provide hands on experiences and a cooperative environment for children ranging in age from 8 - 14. Last year we were conveniently located in the Valley. near Nedrow and Green Hills Farms, at Meachem Elementary School offering an ideal space for rehearsals, creative theatrics and performances indoors and outside. *** Past Circus Performances Open Hand Theater's Puppet Circus has delighted thousands of audience members, young and old, over the years in many locations: in camp productions at HW Smith, Ed Smith, LaFayette Grimshaw and the Onondaga Nation Schools, and in public performances at Thornden Park Amphitheater, the Rosamond Gifford Zoo, Candlelight Theater at Armory Square, the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival in Jamestown, NY, the Niagara Falls Arts Festival, and Open Hand Theater's own International Arts and Puppet Festival on North Salina Street. *** |

I spend July of each summer inside lions. Or elephants. Or zebras. Or maybe even dragons. While there is still dew on the ground, I begin to improvise, to dance, and to create paper maché masks and puppets. Sometimes I work until dusk.
