Belarus to raise minimum subsistence budget on 1 February
The exemplary circus studio "Fantazery" from Orsha has once again become one of the winners of a prestigious circus art competition.
This time, the young artists presented the solo program "Journey Through Time" at the 2nd Open Republican Festival "Arena-STAR". For this program, "Fantazery" was awarded the Grand Prix with a valuable gift and a First Degree Diploma. The Orsha team also presented three solo acts separately – the hula-hoop act "Mistresses", the aerial silks act "Flash", and the coil balancing act "Chess Queen". These acts received First Degree Laureate Diplomas.
– This is not our first time participating in this festival-competition, – said the head of the exemplary circus studio, Svetlana Ravkovskaya. – It is designed to popularize circus art among children and youth in our country, and to promote the exchange of experience and skills. "Arena-STAR" has become an important milestone in the development of the circus festival movement in Belarus, uniting amateur circus groups from all over the republic. Last year, "Fantazery" also won the Grand Prix and received a television as a gift for the strap act "Oddball" performed by Polina Boloshenko.
This year, 20 collectives from the republic took part in the competition, presenting about 90 acts of various genres in the capital.
