Tribute

So another fantastic year is over and some fair wells have been said. However despite leaving town and even some leaving the country they cannot get rid of us that easily! 

First off we have a couple of Canadians  to acknowledge who lit up Kiwi burn 2013!
Karrie and Tyler!
I must say they are my favourite Canadians yet ;) but have unfortunately left us to return to Canada. They were here for a good time not a long time, yet they definitely left their mark! Karrie and Tyler were both talented members of the Club, joining up to do a fire performance consisting of mini hoops (Karrie) and poi (Tyler) for our Show Case of 2014, really making an impression on our newbies! Karrie also partnered with our Secretary Katheryn Margaret (KM) to do a full sized hoop performance for Unity and Diversity of 2014.
So as a small tribute to the two of them here are a few pics :P

Next person that must be mentioned is our Patron Lynelle who has been around for as long as anyone can remember! not due to lack of love for us but due to bigger brighter horizons she has moved towns. Known for her outstandingly good deep throat fire eating, poi and levee stick, to name only a few, her skills will be missed but we will continue to drag her back to events no doubt.  

Hmmm burnt popcorn.....

Lastly Nicky! She is leaving us with all her beautiful hoops and hip movements due to job opportunities out of the town. Starting off with poi her passion for hooping soon developed and her continuously changing hair will be missed.

Nicky heating things up.

All the pretty colours!

I should also mention Scott but we have not yet accepted him as having left as he seems to keep popping up and lets be honest, we have our claws too deep in him for him to actually leave haha





 

So... Come here often?

Happy NEW YEAR!

I must apologies for the lack of photos and post over the last month or two. I would also like to give you a heads up that we won't have many pictures for the next month either as it is summer holidays in New Zealand and the vast majority of our crew have disappeared to go to their various homes and explore some of the fun spaces around the world. This generally means that our camera happy kids won't have been around as much as they should have, so you'll have to use your imagination!
As soon as the action returns we will update you all :D

Festive Season!

Christmas time already!!!

So it is that time of year again.. how did it come so quick haha. Have a great time with friends family and fire. 

Be safe but dont forget to have a bit of fun along the way :D

To add to the festive cheer here is a small cat that is sure to make you laugh!

Great googly-moogly!

Hello again, and welcome back!

How was your time away? Many thing happen? Not as many as what's been going on at Club nights, I bet!

AS it stands, it has been so busy and happening at the Club recently that I have broken three Awesometers (patent pending) and now have the replacement parts on their way to me from their mountainous factory, high in the Andean Alps.

"Wheres the proof?" You say! "Did some-one take photos for you to steal, as always?" You ask!

Well, this time, We took our own footage and I was given a photo!

Circus education.

Boom! Teamwork!

 

 

 

 

Ok, So maybe not as many pictures as I would have liked, but I realised that I took about 8 photos for three different poses, Thus why I thought I had heaps to show you all... Also, we ended up having too much fun to remember to take many photos, as evident here...

 

And here...

For those of you not satisfied by the images provided, I offer you this picture of my cat, helping me with an art project as a distraction!

But in all seriousness, the team at MUFC have been rocking it out and just having a ball and are currently prepping for the Rongotea Fireworks this Friday and another private gig. We are really starting to get to the perfect time of year with some fine weather in the evenings where we can just chillout and burn.

We will aim to get more shots and exciting information out to you all with the next set of gigs that we'll be going to, but until then...

As always, My name is Ty... Thanks for reading!

I'm out!

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.
