Featuring Nik Wallenda & “Grandma”
featuring Nik Wallenda & “Grandma” Welcome to the of 1 Welcome to the On behalf of all the performers, administrative staff, design team and crew, we welcome you to this very special production of the Big Apple Circus. This year marks the 40th Anniversary of a beloved New York City cultural gem that has delighted generations of families during its traditional holiday season at Lincoln Center and cities up and down the East Coast and as far west as Chicago. The 40th Anniversary celebrates the rebirth of a New York City and American cultural institution. After declaring bankruptcy in 2016, the Big Apple Circus seemed destined for extinction. Each of us in front and behind the curtain are honored to be part of this renaissance. The circus transcends all barriers bringing together children and adults of all ages, cultures and faith. For two hours, the world inside the Big Top transforms into a colorful kaleidoscope of wonder, amazement and laughter for all to of share. At the Big Apple Circus, we are committed to continuing the outreach programs so every child will have the opportunity to experience the wonder of the Circus. This year we will be expanding the number of shows adapted for children and young adults with Autism as well as those with hearing and visual challenges through our Circus of the Senses. In addition, we continue our commitment to provide children less fortunate the opportunity to attend the circus. Welcome back and enjoy the show. All of us at Big Apple Circus thank you for your support and hope you enjoy the magic and thrill of this special 40th Anniversary Show. -
Accessible Arts Calendar Summary 2019 Current Venues and Shows
Accessible Arts Calendar Summary 2019 Current Venues and Shows Updated 9-4-19 – The VSA Minnesota Accessible Arts Calendar lists arts events that proactively offer accessibility accommodations such as: ASL (American Sign Language Interpreting), AD (Audio Description), CC (Closed Captioning), OC (Open or Scripted Captioning), DIS (performers with disabilities), or SENS (Sensory-friendly accommodations) which are inclusive for children on the autism spectrum. The main Accessible Arts Calendar listings (emailed monthly through August 2019 and online at http://vsamn.org/community/calendar) offer descriptions of shows, authors, directors, describer & interpreter names, ticket prices, discounts, dates for Pay What You Can (PWYC), and more. This Current Venues and Shows list supplements the Accessible Arts Calendar. On our website as a Resource under Community (http://vsamn.org/community/resources-community/), it summarizes shows at arts venues across Minnesota: plays, concerts, exhibits, films, storytelling, etc. It’s limited to what we learn about and have time to include. The venues are organized alphabetically by Twin Cities venues and then by Greater Minnesota venues. They may offer accessible performances proactively or upon request. Words in GREEN identify some accessibility accommodations. We assume all auditoriums and bathrooms are wheelchair-accessible and theatres with fixed seating have assistive listening devices, unless noted otherwise. Both calendars will be discontinued after September 2019 when VSA Minnesota ceases operation. -

Como en anteriores ocasiones, está organizada por el Área de Las Artes del Ayuntamiento de Madrid, en colaboración con el resto de áreas municipales y con la participación de los principales agentes culturales de la ciudad. La actual edición versa sobre la idea de la ilusión. La noche en blanco invita a los madrileños a descubrir una nueva ciudad, metamorfoseada por el arte y tejida de fantasías que, por unas horas, confundan nuestros sentidos. Una noche compuesta por las ensoñaciones de quienes participan en lo que se ha convertido en la mayor celebración cultural de la ciudad. Por una noche, el mar se podrá oír en Madrid, el sol no dejará de brillar y el cielo estará iluminado por dos lunas. Todo ello gracias a la intervención de artistas como el norteamericano Bill Fontana -que en estos momentos muestra otra de sus intervenciones en la Tate Modern de Londres-, el colectivo suizo Fabric | CH o el fotógrafo madrileño Chema Madoz. Una velada mágica en la que el civismo de los madrileños será, una vez más, el protagonista. EL APOYO A LA CREACIÓN: REFLEX. -
