Local schools have long been supporters of Continental Art Supplies. Students have come here from institutions including Sherman Oaks CES, Birmingham and Cleveland high schools, Pierce College and Cal State Northridge.

Stefan Haves on the world of circus

I worked in television for a decade before crossing over to the world of circus arts and clowning. What interested me about physical theatre as opposed to naturalistic acting were the benchmarks the circus provides. You can juggle or you can’t, either you can walk a tightrope or you can’t. Also, the emotional impact is universal, not language-based. After graduating with BA in Theatre Arts from California State University, Northridge, I went on to study at the Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theatre in California, and worked in the trenches as a juggler and street clown in Paris, which is where I first encountered David Shiner, the writer and director of Cirque du Soleil’s Kooza as well as Banana Shpeel. -- The Free Press Journal - India
