Dougie and Wim, started to paint the dream... a circus show -details to be disclosed- created by us through a thorough process and then performed in a whopping big 'big-top' at Temple Meads! A dream coming true I thought; not only a great new show with a great team but putting up a giant one thousand capacity tent in Bristol.. splashing colour amongst the concrete!
Since arriving at The Invisible Circus in September a few years ago and blagging my way through the doors and not only onto a stage but onto a very high wire at Carnyville; I found myself involved with many of The Invisible Circus shows. It was therefore with pleasure - but no surprise - that I heard that they wanted me on board for the latest show.
We were told that the cast would be a condensed version of the massive crew of Carnyville which sometimes numbered over 300 per night. Coming to the first stage of rehearsals a couple of months ago, I stepped into the familiar surroundings of the training space at the Paintworks to see about 50 odd performers, techies, roustabouts and other familiar circus freaks and uniques.
