The Wedding Season begins..Been ages now since my last blog but here we are now at the start of another season. Did my first wedding of the year on Saturday up in the Rainy peaks. Fortunately the gods were smiling on us and the rain held off perfectly for the duration of the show and then started hooning it down as soon as I'd finished. I think the happy couple are blessed!
Anyroad, the show has been tweaked over the winter now so that the 'Ritual' is now perfectly tailored to celebrate the nuptials of the lucky couple and Juan Carlos has developed a number of practices/procedures to ensure the happy couple are forever full of passion and love for the rest of their marriage. All with their tongues firmly in their cheeks the audience absolutely loved it and got right behind Juan Carlos' ceremony with a twist!! Also been loving the new equipment that was purchased just recently. Spanking new unicycle is amazing!

Despite the appalling weather bookings have been really good this year with the great british public seemingly wanting to get on with having fun despite everything. Consequently Juan Carlos has developed a fantastic weather ritual which is managing to keep the rain away in small pockets throughout the country. it's all part of his magic I guess.
So now that the festive season is almost upon us again, so long as the weather sorts itself out.. what a great way to start it with the Diamond jubilee celebrations. Had a ball doing a show for my street in Derby.. Went down a storm! and also quite nice to show the locals what i do in my day job..
Hey lets blow out all those cobwebs and hunker down for a heart-warming cocktail of fires and silliness. Quite alot of interest being shown in the kiddies disco/fireshow. Also why not spice up that party with something truly different.
Did a lovely little festival in Mablethprpe, Lincolnshire called the Festival Of the Bathing Beauties. Was a street show but contracted and was great to just get back on the street doing show which is what I love the best. Huge crowds and generally an amazing response. long live Street Theatre! ole. Also Juan Carlos has taken a recent course in Tantric Fire Ritualisation which now means he is able to initiate the willing in the ways of Sexual Fire liberation...!! You lucky lucky people.
Amazing festival in Kendal at the end of August working with world famous Les Goulus french avant garde performers has really taken the show to another level. Learnt loads of interesting things about crowd participation and what people will do if they are amused and comfortable enough.
With barbecue season now in full swing things have really started to heat up. Projects with a number of local organisations are in the pipeline specifically looking to engage youngsters in something that they can succeed at and that is fun and energetic.
Also there is an exciting opportunity to take part in Mintfest in Cumbria working with other performers and trying to take the show to the next level. Once that is done then Feste in Derby should be showcasing what has been learnt during the two weeks of practice and performance. Exciting Stuff! Also looking to be working with Catalan performance collective Sarruga, when they come over for Feste. So loads in the offing and looking forward to getting into it all. Show season starts tomorrow. Also offering kids disco, all the latest tunes for the kiddies with workshop and circus / fire show.
Summer approaching, Changofuego - warming up. New offer this year-children's party = a fire show/performance + disco/dancing. All ages, 2 hour package guaranteeing kiddies will be talking it till it next year.
Happy New Year to all out there. May it go onward and upward.
Now with New Year festivities over time to get down to some hard earned fun. Developing a new skills day for schools that will allow kids to learn how to master a number of circus skills whilst bringing in areas of the curriculum to make it more relevant. Help those kids that struggle getting outdoors find something that they are really good at and can do that doesn't involve a screen. |
