[NEohioPAL] Stilt Weekend at the Cleveland Museum of Art

[Jess Rudolph]

Good afternoon!

You may have seen stilt walkers at various fairs, 
parades, and events - and if you ever said you'd 
like to learn, now's the time!

As part of the Cleveland Museum of Art's Parade 
the Circle workshops is their annual free Stilt 
Weekend.  It's this weekend - both Saturday and 
Sunday from 1:30 to 4:30pm in Wade Park across 
from the Museum in University Circle. You don't 
have to go the entire time nor both days.

This weekend's workshop is free and you can try 
on stilts and learn with experts, including some 
of the stilt dancers you may have already seen in 
the area.  You can try tricks and stilt 
dancing.  I found it to be very fun and not as 
hard as I would expect.  I learned here in 2007 
and took to it very quickly - despite being a 
natural klutz with little coordination!

Kids over 10 years old are also permitted with 
adult permission.  I've seen lots of teenagers try this at the workshops.

I'm not an organizer or affiliated with this in 
any way; I just thought I'd spread the word.

Enjoy!
