Camp ZinZanni’s second session, “Let’s Get Physical” got under way yesterday in Teatro ZinZanni’s spiegeltent. Campers are learning the fine arts of clowning, slapstick, mime and movement under the direction of Dolorèze Léonard and Noah Moore with Teatro ZinZanni’s tumblers Les Petits Frères and comedian Frank Ferrante. “Let’s Get Physical” wraps up Saturday, July 18 with a free performance in the tent at 222 Mercer Street in Seattle’s Lower Queen Anne neighborhood.
Slapstick and Pratfalls are the name of the game at Camp ZinZanni.
Ooooh... Made you look!
