MissingLinkProductions Newsletter October 2003...
News
Welcome to a slightly nippy Missing Link Productions newsletter.
I spent most of September having a lovely break (or preparing for
it or catching up on stuff after it) at Bristol Circus Skills Convention,
which was an utter joy.
There was a show at the end of the week which was compered by the
fantastic Dan the (other) Hat and our fantastic Yo Yo boy Ste3void.
The amazing juggling show from Robin Gunney was really great
to see and fantastic. It was great to see the Irish football
juggler Sugardaddy who also performed. A real favourite for
me was seeing the fantastic Mr
Dennis Teeth playing his saw - it was a real treat.
I left my holiday to come straight back to Trafalgar Square where
we had been helping the Prince's Trust organise a big day out. Heir
of Insanity stole the day with their beautiful bouncing
stilt goat - flirts 'The Satyrs'. I was told by one onlooker
that it was like magic being real. There was a wonderful moment
when I stood at the top of the steps and watch Cyberstein
the giant robot walking across the square with a crowd of a couple
of hundred people flocking behind him like the Pied Piper. Fantastic
shows were performed by the wonderful clown Fraser Hooper AKA Strawberry
and Steve
Faulkner, our favourite escapologist. Walkabout was
provided by the gloriously funny Irish tea maid, Bridie, from Rin
Tin Tin and the wonderful walkabout puppetry of
Original
Mixture. Still
Living Statues managed to fool members of the public
with their own human version of the statues in the square and we
also had the wonderful caricatures of Sarah Bailey from Caricatures
Galore and the gorgeous face painting of Claredeloon and
Faceworks.
So onto other news now, some of you hopefully managed to see the
fantastic new Creature Comforts series where the first episode was
all about the circus. It featured the wonderful voice of Julie
from Rin
Tin Tin as Ivanna The Lioness.
We have a long list of congratulations this month. A big congratulations
to Pam and Chris Tofu from Continental on the birth of their baby
girl.
Congratulations also (belatedly) to Jenny Penguin from Brink
of Distinction the creators of the wonderful Giant
Garden Gnomes and The Guide to Poise and Perfection, who is now
Mrs Jenny Penguin. I had a great night out with lots of you
at Lucy in the Sky (and Robert's) party to celebrate their wedding.
And finally, a loving congratulations and a huge exhaling to the
gorgeous Suzy Barton in regards to her settlement. You deserve
every penny lass.
One final thank you to the gorgeous and graceful entertainer Grant
Goldie for coming and helping in the office this month.
Last month I forgot to mention how grateful I was to the lovely
Julia from Heir
of Insanity for coming and helping out on the good
ship Missing Link.
Web Site
Even though I have been away this month I have still managed to
get a fair amount done on the website.
Divine Company
have had some new pictures of their stilt walking, their fire performing
and ribbon dancing added to the site.
I have added the fantastic new Glam Rock costumes from Artemis
to the website.
Aerial Roots
have a fantastic picture of their Zorro trapeze act added to their
page.
Gig of the Month
I left Trafalgar Square on the return from my break with Cyberstein
to perform the fantastic publicity stunt of going to do a show underneath
David Blaine's box. We hatted the crowd and gave the money
to Oxfam - to help those who are genuinely starving and not doing
it by choice.
Quote of the Month
Getting a bit philosophical this month but I read this and it made
me pause and smile.
"What, after all, is reason but a means to lead us along
the paths of desire?" - Clare Messud
Have a great October.
Warm Regards
