1. Postive Feedback

    I got some really lovely feedback sent to my agency from a school workshop I did yesterday :) I found the group I worked with very focussed, so I was able to run a really good session.

    I know that I am definitely not the best skilled person at manipulation skills (I’m an aerialist primarily and am happy with that), but I know that I am really good at engaging and teaching children. Enough so that I can teach them basic circus skills and they’ll enjoy themselves. It’s nice to have confirmation of that - that I’m not totally delusional about my abilities.

  2. Learning new stuff

    I got asked to do a gig with my silks partner doing skills I’ve not done before. The first is acrobalance with a person of similar weight/height. I’ve only really done acro with people heavier and taller that me. My partner is brilliant at handstands and super-strong so we had some fun trying things out last night after working on silks.

    The next new thing I get to learn is fire. I’ve been meaning to do this for ages, but now I get to learn how to use fire fans for this gig. :D

  3. Today is the first day since the end of March where it’ll actually be plausible for stretch in my garden in the sun.

    The last month and half has been miserable, cold and rainy. Bring on the summer!

  8. My static trapeze performance at the Greentop Pirate Cabaret.

    Really pleased with this one. It’s definitely the most personal piece I’ve done.

  9. Aerialist Woes No. 1

    When you stretch and feel stiff and painful. You panic and think you’ve done something to a muscle. Then you look in the mirror and see you’ve got a massive bruise.
