Circus Harmony Adds to its International Acclaim

ST. LOUIS - EntSun -- Circus Harmony's Artistic/Executive Director, Jessica Hentoff, is heading to Monte Carlo this week at the invitation of Zsuzsanna Mata, the head of the World Circus Federation (WCF), to be part of the creation of a Global Alliance of Circus Schools. On two previous visits to the city, she spoke to the WCF's European Circus Association on the topic of using Circus Arts to motivate social change in 2009 and was invited back in 2011 to be the first-ever social circus judge to serve at the Monte Carlo Circus Festival and to speak at a luncheon hosted by Princess Stephanie on the topic of the importance of connecting the growing youth circus movement with professional circuses.

Hentoff was also recently named as the recipient of the 2020 Youth Development Practitioner Award by the Youth Learning Institute. She will receive this award during the US Play Coalition's 2020 Conference on the Value of Play at Clemson University, March 29 to April 1.
