November 2005

Another corporate function rigging job starts this month, then all our efforts go towards the end of year fundraising show with the youth performers which takes place at the training space in Southport on November 26th. We had more audience than last year, but sadly raised a lot less money. This still did not change the fact that our show was great, featuring many new acts never seen before. We were able to get 24 performers trained to performing level, including my five year old daughter Raelene, who was part of the five girls lyra spectacular. All of the more experienced performers had upgraded their acts and Tim the clown had practiced the leaning Conductor act, also performed for the first time. Congratulations to the new young performers who have not performed before and to those who practiced innovative new acts which included Jamilla's static trapeze act. Skye and Lara's combination of rolla bolla and tight wire. Shauna did web beautifully. Kate and Georgia combined to do a duo hula hoop number. A big success for Jason on his German Wheel. Kate and Shauna worked hard on their duo wide bar static trapeze act. and Maddy closed the first half with a brand new cloud swing routine. Michelle and Biance did a rip off of Mission Impossible, calling themselves Jane Blonds and their mission was to find the Intermission sign which ended the first half. New acts in the second half of the show started out with a new trio of young ladies doing triple trapeze. Well done Naomi, Danica and Anna. We especially built a new set of steps and platform for the unicycle act which included Zane, Dom and Pascal. Lisa and Skye showed us their duo acro balancing act, and some different pyramids with a much bigger cast ended the show. Well done to all the performers and as usual, a big "Thank you" to the parents who helped us to put on our best show yet.
At the end of the month, we took some of these acts to perform at the Marymount College for all the year 4's and that too was a big success.
