Flam Chen Circus Day
10 AM – 4 PM Learn circus arts from some of Tucson’s master performers! Flam Chen will be demonstrating at teaching Poi, Soft Staffs, and juggling scarves and balls. Flam Chen have been creating, performing, and touring new circus and fire theater since 1994. We create dazzling public spectacle merging daredevil acrobatics, pyrotechnics and a mastery of light, air and fire. Our interest in community interaction, educational outreach and public ceremony has led Flam Chen to innovate work that imbues the exhilaration of a symphony, the timeless beauty of opera and the raw physicality of sport. Civic leaders, city centers and creative communities cry out for work that is inspiring, un-elitist, bonding and celebratory. Through procession, community skill-building workshops and novel use of public space, Flam Chen has developed a uniquely American style of Road Theater. This is performance unconfined by black boxes or velvet seats, this is what new audiences want-To be re-connected to the POWER and VELOCITY of the performing arts. www.flamchen.com |

Chris Novak
Chris Craft Designs in Wood Wood I primarily focus on jewelry boxes, different types of cutting boards & crucifixes. I am an experienced woodworker who is inspired by seeing interesting and unique natural beauty in different types of wood. It is my opportunity to unleash the beauty of a particular piece of wood and make it into an item that others will want to cherish and pass onto family and friends. My pieces are designed to be passed down as multi-generational keepsakes - however much they are touched and used. I carefully search for and utilize as much reclaimed and recycled wood into my creations as possible. No piece is ever perfect, and that is my challenge - to make each one-of-a-kind piece as beautiful, practical, and perfect as I can possibly achieve. |
