Aerial Silks Drop at Ringling Brothers

I had a great time at Ringling Brothers show "Zing Zang Zoom" last weekend. At the last minute, I decided to see the show twice (Thursday and Sunday) so I could take more pictures. It goes without saying that the acrobatic acts were my favorites. I also thought the clowns were more entertaining than usual. It was a very acrobatic group of clowns, with one guy doing a side flip over 4 audience members. I'm slowly working on editing the photos and posting them to my Flickr stream (www.flickr.com/flipimages).

Here's one of my favorite shots of one of the aerial silks performers:

Just got my tickets for Metamorphoses

I just purchased front row tickets for Metamorphoses in September. Yay! I've heard that the show is fantastic, so I'm really excited. Yes, I'm prepared to be in the "Splash Zone" :-)

A few events coming up:

1. Next week Ringling Brothers will be in town with their show Zing Zang Zoom (Aug 18 - 22). Last year they allowed cameras, so I'm hoping I can take pictures again this year.

2. The Zach Scott theater has a new show called "Metamorphoses". I haven't seen it yet but I heard there are aerial silks used during the show (and Blue Lapis Light is listed in the under the Artistic Staff). http://www.zachtheatre.org/show/metamorphoses. It sounds like a really interesting show.

3. Blue Lapis Light is performing a site specific aerial dance at The Long Center September 27 - October 3. Tickets are available through The Long Center. More information is available at www.bluelapislight.org.
