Zip Zap builds the first Circus Academy in South Africa and you can finance the much needed costume room.
Zip Zap Circus School is a vibrant social circus based in Cape Town. Founded in 1992 by Brent van Rensburg and Laurence Estève, our circus school provides free circus and performing arts training for youth from different walks of life. Zip Zap has already helped thousands of kids to ‘dare to dream’ and turn those dreams a reality.
We are a diverse, loving family committed to teach invaluable life and social skills – trust, honesty, respect, responsibility, teamwork and discipline – while gaining physical and circus skills leading to job opportunities.
The success of Zip Zap is internationally recognised, with professional performances in more than 16 countries and many artistic and public awards won. But our true achievement lies in the positive effect in the children’s lives, and the opportunities to touch more are boundless.
Our current accommodation, the dome, has been functioning as a multipurpose facility for the past eight years but we can no longer accommodate all the activities associated with Zip Zap Circus School. What is needed now is a suitable building in order to house and advance the nine educational programs in our developing curriculum.
It is time to make Zip Zap’s legacy last and you can be part of it.
With love and circus magic,
The Zip Zap family
The first milestone will pay for the workstation – so we can sew new costumes and fix old ones on a large and smooth counter.
Since we already have a huge stock of costumes therefore the second milestone will pay for the storage, racks and shelves.
Since no room works without water & electricity the last milestone will pay for that and washing section.
