MissingLinkProductions Newsletter September 2002...

News

Welcome to the September Missing Link newsletter.  I hope that you have all been having a wonderful summer.

In August Howie Bailey produced a showreel of a wide range of our performers for us, on CD ROM.  It is a great little video which shows clips of what we do.  If you would like a copy of this please do let me know.  By the beginning of October we are hoping to have a brochure to accompany the CD ROM's of performers videos which we send out.

Many of our performers were up at the Edinburgh Fringe in August. Sword swallower and escapeologist, Miss Behave, performed her street shows and cabaret act throughout the festival.

I managed to see Mimbre's  fantastic street show 'Sprung' in London a few weeks ago.  I think it speaks volumes when I am more than happy to go out of my way to see a performance which I have seen so many times before.  And I still love it.

Luke Wilson's other news is that he has just won first prize at the international street magicians festival in Germany.

News for performers this month is that after several discussion with Equity about insurance documents, I have finally managed to get hold of some.  I know many of you are insured with Equity and have previously had trouble obtaining insurance documents which are often requested.  I spoke to them about this and discussed the issue that for events organisers and agents, a card with your membership number on is not enough; they have sent me a pile of blank insurance documents for Equity members which can be used for this purpose.  Any of you who would like a copy please drop me a line.

 

Web Site

We have  lots of fantastic new additions to the website this month.

Still Living Statues are beautiful performers adding a spectacular element to any party or function.

Mimeworks create a wide range of characters for any function ranging from Lara Croft to Bloated British Beasties...

Cyberstein is one of the most visually stunning robotic creations I have ever seen.  Their amazing robot who stands nearly eight feet tall has also been added to the website.

Delia Du Sol, the contortionist who could be seen climbing inside a 17" glass cube on Graham Norton's show a couple of months ago can at last be viewed on the website.  Delia is also available for a double act called 'Jewel' with Daniela Zocchi.

Claredeloon has several new pictures of her aerial hoop, corde lisse and web rope cabaret show.

We have added pictures of Fair Play's walkabout characters Ron and Don the dodgy geezers who will try and sell you a second hand car or simply empty your wallet, given half the chance.

The wonderful classic comedy juggling duo The Curious Eyebrows also have some new pictures on their page.

And last but not least, street artist Jon Hicks has new wording on his page on the website.

Gigs of the Summer

Thank you to all of the performers who have been travelling to and from Cyprus for us throughout the last few months.  We hope you managed to cope with all that sunshine in between your performing.  Thanks also to Marios for being a complete pleasure to work with throughout the summer on these nightclub jobs.

Quote of the Month

This month's quote comes from a an old friend who also has a passion for special words:

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.".

One last note is that I am going to be at a circus festival from 16th - 20th September.  James will be manning the office part time, but please bear with us if we are not as efficient as we normally are during this period.

Have a fantastic September and I look forward to seeing many of you in Bristol.

Warm Regards
