Month: September 2016

Not a problem. Here are some cheat sheets:

• Adventures in the Czech Republic (British blogger who bought a farmhouse near Cesky Krumlov in 2005)
• CIA factbook (less scary than it sounds)
• Radio Prague (news feed that reports on EVERYTHING)
• American Friends of the CR (interest group with quick links to the basics)
• BBC 25-year retrospective of the Velvet Revolution
• What it LOOKS like (flickr)

Cirqueon, our home for all things circus in Prague, considers itself a social organization. Their goal is “to provide information on domestic and European events in the field of contemporary circus, to support contemporary circus projects created in the Czech Republic, and to aid the development of circus skills of professionals and the general public.”

That might sound like a peculiar mission statement (who REALLY needs “circus skills” besides circus performers?). But you’d be surprised by how well they connect the dots between movement, performance, and Czech history.
