Collaboration with the Seattle Public School System

ZICA is now in the beginning stages of providing educational circus arts experiences for students in the Seattle Public Schools as well as leading workshops and events in the Seattle Public Libraries. ZICA educational offerings specifically address Washington state educational learning requirements in the areas of Performing Arts and Physical Education. With the implementation of this unique outreach program, ZICA can reach a larger and more diverse audience of young circus learners.
