But I admit I am attracted to circus, both the old sawdust in a big top type circus and the far more artistic type we now see that is more likely to be a Cirque rather than a Circus. Graceful, fluid, mesmerising and captivating.
Today in the most unlikely circus venue - the Myer Centre food court - there was a lunchtime display of the most extraordinary tissue acrobatics by a performer from the Aerial Angels group. Watching her it was possible to think you might have died and gone to heaven. An angelic display to be sure. Shoppers were left speechless although one word did come to my mind: "ouch".
Yep, I might think there's a lot of bending over backwards in my life but I've got nothing on this girl.
Confirmation again, that I'm not cut out for the circus. I'll leave it to the experts like this little angel.
Great pictures. I was never keen on the circus until I went to one recently which involved motorbikes, stunts and a swimming pool and we had front row seats. They have changed a lot and for the better x
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to be treated to acrobatics whilst out shopping!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing pics. Yes ouch was my initial reaction too lol.
ReplyDeletevery clever, wouldn't want to try that one at home though!
ReplyDeleteYou do see some amazing things don't you? Brilliant photos and yes it does all look a bit painful, but I would love to have the grace and poise to do something like that!
ReplyDeleteImpressive stuff. Couldn't get close to that.
ReplyDeleteI love the vobranxu of the red in those photos! Great action shot! X
ReplyDeleteImpressive, though like you i'd leave it to the experts as i'm likely to creak if i do that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great thing to be able to see while out shopping. Excellent shots :)
ReplyDeleteThose acrobats always fascinate me how they know that the ribbon will wrap in a particular way and that they won't fall, so beautiful, graceful and clever. I love her red, white and black outfit, it's really effective.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up
Wow, they must be really really strong to be doing that!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I've never been to the circus but it is on my bucket list!
ReplyDeletemmm lovely it's so good to see that more of this wondeful art form is gracing our world, including shopping centres too, not circus alone...if only it were so appreciated in my days of performing...long live Le cirque
ReplyDeleteSome of that looks plain painful :D
