A few quick snaps.


WANGANUI FESTIVAL OF CULTURES!
Despite being stuck mostly inside due to not so great weather we all had a great time, in fun costumes and impressive make-up. Managed to acquire an army of children, scare the life out of some teenagers and brighten the day for a lot of random strangers :D
Our fantastic make up artist! Came up from Wellington to help us all out!



This little red riding hood knows how to look after herself!

Run AWAY!



Army of children. 
All the interesting, creepy characters together.

As usual the day was a great success and heaps of fun.
The ninja did not catch red riding hood, and the zombie did not successfully turn anyone else. 
Any ideas for new characters?? ??
If so please flick them our way as we are always keen to try something new!

Oh the antics we get up to.

As most of our followers know, as a Club we meet up on a Tuesday night to practice new skills socialise and basically just cause havoc :P
Here is a bit of what we got up to last night, if this doesn't tempt you to get involved in circus arts and tomfoolery I don't know what will.
Ty getting his groove on ;) 


Puts a new spin on both diabolo and playing in the rafters.

Showing a flirtatious side.

Thursday evening we had the fantastic fun opportunity to get our skills out on display, in a professional PG manner of course ;), at the entrance of a the Globe Theature in Palmerston North to welcome people to a Burlesque Show! Staff, poi, fire eating, body burns, rope dart, knife throwing and even a bit of hula hooping.
A lot of laughs, fire and of course fantastic costumes and attire to fit in with the theme of the night. We even had some ladies dressed to the nines have a go at knife throwing under the safe guidance of Ty and Scott. No one lost any fingers or toes so I call that a success!
A small tip to all of you lovely ladies out there who are a big fan of fire poi: it is very very difficult to do a ground burn when wearing a steal boned corset, turns out you cannot bend down far enough to actually complete it. Also try make sure it is a cotton not polyester/satin corset, slightly less of a fire hazard.
On the note of attire up we also had some very dapper looking fire spinners in suit and tie, I do approve! And thankfully we were all dressed up a little as we were later invited to watch the Burlesque show. An eye opener indeed but we found a commonality- seen as we both come from fiery hot background.
Great night all round! And the show is on again tomorrow night! Pop on down if you get the chance.

Mentioned in the Wanganui Chronicle !


On Saturday the 18th October a handful of our crew will be heading over to Wanganui to get our groove on at the Festival of Cultures! This is an annual gig that we get involved in and have a fantastic time.
This year we have even been mentioned in the Wanganui local newspaper the Wanganui Chronicle, and I note, we have been called a returning "Favourite." Click here to read the article!
Definitely adding that feather to our hat!
So if your passing through Wanganui or a local of the area, pop on down next Saturday, check out our sweet moves and skills as well as diverse acts and cultures on show. You won't regret it!

Le sigh... Controversy already!

Good afternoon!

As you may be aware, there has been a wholesale change in our ranks. Many of us have moved on, some of us have jumped in and, like a strong tree in the harshest of storms, some of us have weathered the howling winds to remain!

Despite being overlooked! (I can't blame the new person, I showed her how to drive this thing...)

As a slight amendment to the last entry, and to undoubtedly fuel my own verbal ego, I would also like to announce the return of... ME!

That's right, ladies and gentlemen, I am still here! I will still be here... I'm trapped and possibly cannot escape. Only transform!

This year, I shall be representing the club as the newest incarnation of the Performance Co-odinator.

Thats right, you will be stuck with me for another year! But, there is also several others who will be putting words on s screen, so you will not have to deal with my ramblings too much!

Yeah...

Anywho, I am looking forward to the coming year and I'm sure we will see great things from this new team!


Peace out!
Ty











GO! SAMURAI RACOON!
