MissingLinkProductions Newsletter January 2003...

News

A belated happy New Year to you all and welcome to the first Missing Link newsletter of 2003.  I hope you all had a wonderfully relaxing holiday period.

December was an astoundingly busy month for us as we managed to squeeze in two visits to Japan (one site visit and one Xmas and New Year job) as well as all the Xmas party work.  Huge thank you to Aerial Roots, The Wrong Size, Feeding The Fish, Kamelyan and Browner for all their hard work and their fantastic performances for the launch of Ageha in Tokyo.  Also a big thanks you to Bobbie, Rio and Racquel for all you time and energy over Xmas.

Performers news this month is that you can see Danny Schlesinger from Circo Ridiculoso with their Lookiheeri Bird walkabout and the fantastic Complimentary Compliments Service on the new BBC series of Happiness on 14th January as a comedy waiter.

More television requests this month for entertainers who are interested.  A BBC documentary would like "interesting" couples for their views on aging and Channel 4 would like to host a dinner party in someone's house.  They provide food, drink and film crew and you provide tummy, friends and a venue.  Do let me know if either of these opportunities interest you.

 

Web Site

New this month are the stunning costumes of Abby Grewcock.  Abby has made costumes for many of performers on our books and you can see examples of these on her page.

Giant slinkie / giant inflatable performers Bedlam Oz have new pictures on their pages this month.

 

Gig of the Month

Jason Perry from The Wobbly Juggling Company and Sam Hague were jugglers on French and Saunders Xmas special.  Unfortunately I was out of the country and did not manage to see this, but I hear there was also a fantastic spoof of VIVA Aerial Dance and Melissa Merrin's BBC aerial ident.

 

Quote of the Month

Quote of the month for the New Year comes from a very inspirational evening I spent at the beginning of December listening to Noam Chomsky speak in conjunction with the Kurdish Human Rights Project and The Bar of Human Rights Committee.  

He ended his speech by saying:
"We are each individually responsible for our own inactions"

The quote was made in regards to our current political situation, though I feel it has much wider implications too.

 

Wishing you all a very peaceful and healthy new year,

 

Anna
