Longo-Mai Arts Festival 2008, Costa Rica
The School of Comedy and Mime traveled again in January to the Arts Festival that takes place every year at Longo Mai Cooperative, south of Costa Rica. Due to economic reasons this time only three students were able to attend (Rafa, Luis Manuel and Armando). As always the festival had different workshops, forums and shows of artistic groups from different places of Costa Rica.
The need to create a dynamic 45 minutes show for the closure of the festival was a challenge and a new experience that we never imagined could be achieved accustomed always perform with entire group. But we "put our heart" to our rehearsals for a week and with the participation of three children of Circo Fantazztico and a youngster of Longo-Mai community on the acrobatic scene the show was enjoyed by all the children and adult audience. Also by our boxer friend Brenda Lee who attended the festival to give a boxing workshop. She invited us to perform in Nosara which is a tourist community on the beaches of Guanacaste, north of Costa Rica.
For the show in Nosara we involved three children from the community and assemble in two days the acrobatic number. This was an excellent propaganda as the entire family of each of them came to watch them perform as well as their friends. At the end of the show many people congratulated us and told us that each year saw us much better and looked forward to see us back next year…
