MissingLinkProductions Newsletter October 2001...

News

Welcome to our October newsletter.

September meant I could have a quick breather from the summer before we dive into the Hallowe'en, Xmas and New Year season. I managed to spend a lovely week at the Bristol Circus Skills Convention with many friends and performers having a long relax after what turned out to be a very busy summer. The Curious Eyebrows were marvellous comperes for "The Greatest Show on Turf" on the last weekend.

Congratulations to Matt Hennem for not getting bored of my constant requests for "Just one more magic trick".

A huge thank you to Dunk for keeping a watchful eye on MissingLink whilst I was off relaxing.

At the beginning of September I went to see Petra Lange in Cirque Eloize's show where she put on a great performance both in character and on the corde lisse.

The Circus Space hosted Heir of Insanity's final performance (for a while of) crystalVITA. There were many cameo roles including The Gandini Juggling Project and a few comedy twists to the tale. I felt very privileged to be asked to stage manage the show and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Other news this month (which is somewhat amusing) is that I have won the Bodyform Career Award, MissingLink gain a cash prize and I am to attend an awards ceremony at The Globe in a few weeks. Now, I must press on...

Following last months newsletter, I apologise for the typo in the URL for the funding web site, it is in fact www.j4b.co.uk , I have also now found out about www.grantsforbusiness.co.uk . I hope some of you find this useful.

Last bit of news is that after several years of not performing, I would like to thank Steve Kaos for being a fantastic acrobalance partner in the big top in Bristol. Rumour has it we set a new world record for the worlds' longest drum roll.

Xmas Performers

As a little help for those of you who are a bit bit stuck for ideas for Xmas entertainment, I have listed a few ideas. I hope this is of some help:

• Curious Company's stilt walking Jack Frost
• Fair Play's Elves
• Fairy and Gnomes
• Giant Penguins and their Garden Gnomes
• Ice Queen on stilts (female and drag)
• Jon Hicks themed street art
• Other Half Productions Angels on stilts
• Santa on stilts
• Santa's Little Helpers
• Statues
• Xmas trees on stilts

Quote of the Month

After I retrieved something in the big top in Bristol, Ben from Circus Berzercus said
"But I was going to..." To which I replied
"Yes. You were going to and I actually did."
"And that is the difference between men and women isn't it?"
Which made me laugh a lot.

There is an old Nepalese saying which translates as "Do all that you can to create a calm home full of love" . I think that is the least we could all try in these troubled times.

Enjoy your October.
