MissingLinkProductions Newsletter April 2004...
News
Welcome to the April Missing Link Newsletter.
Much of our time last month was taken up by our charity showcase
in aid of circus2iraq.
People thronged to The Circus Space to see an amazing line up of
stunning acts. The high quality selection of the entertainers
made me proud of the acts I represent. The show included:
Mimbre
Amazing, upbeat female acrobatic trio -bringing a warm smile to
opening the show
Caroline
Parker - Inspirational signed song cabaret, which
went down a storm
Jon Hicks
- The rock and roll Rolf Harris bring Elvis to the masses
Helen
Kane - Comedy Marilyn Monroe impersonator, and with
cutting wit
(T)hat
Juggler - Old-time vaudeville hat juggler, who improvised
a fantastic routine
Melissa
Merran - Glamourous ‘Moulin Rouge’ swinging
trapeze which wowed the crowds
Fling -
High impact fast paced acrobatic act
Strawberry -
Consumate clowning and mischevious mayhem
Steve
Falkner - Manic Mime and noisy crystal ball
Tumble
Circus - Dynamic doubles trapeze to get the evening
going
Woody Bop
Muddy and his record graveyard, never look at rice
in the same way again...
The evening was hosted by Mr
Mike Martins, Mr
John Stretch and with walkabout flattery from The
Complimentary Compliments Service, the beautiful mix
and mingle characters from Anonymous,
and our very own cover-flirts Heir
of Insanity.
The cabaret was to raise money for the circus2iraq
project which is an amazing group of entertainers who are out in
Iraq right now, doing shows for people, workshops for the kids and
spreading smiles to areas where they have been lacking for some
time now. Devilstick Peat who is currently our in Iraq at the moment
had this to say about the cabaret:
"There ís this agent I use called MISSINGLINK
PRODUCTIONS. They didn't just arrange a free venue, care of
CIRCUS SPACE in London. Didn't just get their top artists to perform
free of charge. Didn't just raise £2223.50 pounds for circus2iraq.
They also gave as all a great big moral booster. Something we need
so much out here. The moral booster was infectious. Rubbing off
on the kids we work with. So that, without even seeing or touching
a penny of that money, their efforts have already touched the hearts
of the children. And I just wanted the world to know how beautiful
those people are. Not just Anna, her performers, and circus space.
But also all those people who paid to see the show. Especially the
lady who offered to make regular payments if we promise to take
every clown from her area toIraq."
So from all of us here, thank you so much for helping us raise the
money (my heartfelt thanks especially go to Bryan from Duo
Vertigo and Bobby Troman) and I hope you all had a
great night out.
Other news this month is that the lovely Julia from Heir
of Insanity is a mum! Mailee was born last weekend
and both mum and daughter are happy and healthy.
And it is with sadness this month that the Julie leaves us for gambling
lambs and rainbows in the west country. Thank you for all your hours,
giggles, hard work and posture tips lass and see you soon. Enjoy
never having to work on a Mac again ;o)
Featured Performer of the Month
This month's featured performers are the gorgeous acrobatic trio,
Mimbre.
Mimbre
are one of the few acts which not only contain an astoundingly high
skill level as well leaving you smiling throughout. Their performance
is compelling and draws you into their world of mischeveous tumbling
and balancing. The ladies have been described as "The future
definition of feminity" and I for one love the fact the
fact that they break the stereotypes of how girls should be seen
on stage with such a playful finess.
Mimbre
have three acts; "Sprung" which is a self contained acrobatic
street show where the girls emerge from an elasticated black box
backdrop to transform their flips, tumbles, capoeria and balancing
into one big game; they also perform a shorter version of this show
as a cabaret performance; their latest show "Tryp-tic"
is set on three giant metal pyramids creating a visual spectacular
to be the taking point of any event.
As well as lovely people to work with, Mimbre
really have the special sparkle which makes their performances shine.
If I was still performing, I would certainly want to be in their
gang.

Quote of the Month
Last month I had an enquiry in from a lady who was organising a
charity party for migrane sufferers, whilst discussing the event
she pointed out
"I need the entertainment to really compel people to turn up.
I have organised these events before and a lot of people just rang
me up and said they could not come because they had a headache."
Have a good April.
Warmest Regards
Anna
