it's called Water Meteors and these boys are quite new, i think. they come from a performing arts school in Kun-Ming, China and since the government doesn't let their citizens out of the country for a certain period of time, Varekai gets a new set of Water Meteors performers every 18 months.

cool. i'm thinking of taking some aerial classes post HSC. good luck for getting into NICA. i'm seeing Varekai on wednesday. out of interest are you a member of Cirque Tribune?

you're saying it as if sex is the only thing that holds a relationship together. personally i believe in sex after marriage but we are all entitled to our own opinions. i just think sex before just causes so many complications.

it's about a couple that have, some time ago, divorced and have just remarried. they coincidentally go to the same hotel for their honeymoon and freak out as they absolutely despise each other. then, through their reminiscing, they fall in love again and decide to give it another shot, so they...

Cirque du Soleil's Varekai is in Sydney. they are still setting up at the moment but the grand chapiteau (big top) seems mostly up. it premieres next thursday (10th August). i went today and took a couple of pics. it's the first swirl tent in Australia (Saltimbanco & Alegria were white tents...

it's a good point you bring up about doing it for dramatic effect and not doing just for the sake of being different. in my mind it works. now all i have to do is convince the examiners... i reckon that'll mostly be in the rationale where i try to get through to them why i've chosen to do it...

well this show is called Varekai. it means "wherever" in the Romany gypsy language. for those who don't know, all Cirque du Soleil shows are different. this one in particular is based on the mythical character of Icarus. in the greek tale, he falls into the sea and dies. in Cirque's rendition...

wow, that's really cool. thanks!!!

i am in region 1, i used to train at 2 senior classes per week and be a sempai (assistant instructor) in another but since this year i've only been instructing. from next week i'm just gonna train instead so i can at least get 1 class a week and keep my technique up. as with flaws.... i can't...

the Beatles show, LOVE, is a resident show. this means that it doesn't travel like the touring ones. but it certainly does look interesting. apparently the soundtrack to LOVE will be out later this year

yay! another Cirque fan. which shows have you seen? I've seen Alegr*a and Quidam live (O and K*, and possibly Mystère, post HSC) and Saltimbanco, Dralion, Varekai, Corteo and La Nouba on DVD... and Journey of Man, Midnight Sun and Fire Within if you count those. And i just loving watching Olga...

anyone here a Cirque fan? if so, i'd like to have a chat on ANYTHING Cirque. if you don't know anything about it but you're curious then take a look at this (you'll have to wait until about 1:16 until anything really exciting happens): <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie"...

Comfort Zone.....most notably at the start where we (four guys) are dancing seductively on chairs a la Cabaret. it's out of our comfort zone and is sure to be out of the examiners'....unless they're into that kinda stuff. then that'd be scary

i just started making a practise model today. much harder than i thought. how conventional were your designs? i had an issue in that i wanted to do a more abstract type of set but when i went to see onstage, the set designs there were super conventional (like proscenium, used realism). i kept...

there's a good guide in "Global Interations 1" i think. that's the Kleeman book. as for how i did. i got 19 out of 20. i sent out surveys to councils and collected newspaper articles like 1 or 2 weeks before it was due and did all the report stuff the night before.....a very long night! mine was...

i have been doing karate for about 10 years now and am on by brown belt with 2 black tips (next up is black belt). as for how to get into it, it all depends on where you live. i go to a club called Go-Kan-Ryu and they have many dojos all over Australia (and in the UK and USA too) so go to...
