We went to a small circus, Happy's Circus, last night. It's a small, travelling circus, and does a lot of events at schools, etc. Alex's school (also the school where I work) booked them for an event, so despite the appalling weather, off we went - luckily, the circus itself was in a big, dry tent, even if the refreshments, etc, were a little less under cover... The acts were very good - and of course we were quite close, as it wasn't a huge big top (though still fairly good sized). There was an aerialist, who performed on high silks and a hoop (no photo of the hoop).
And another performer, who did two acts - one on high ropes and the other, a balancing act.
He ended up balanced on top of 5 platforms - but the part that really impressed me was that he added each one himself as he went along...
There was a woman who did an act balancing knives and swords - here she is, climbing a ladder, balancing a candelabra sword on the point of a knife, which holding the knife hilt in her mouth.
There were also clowns, of course, and a girl who did an act with hula hoops, but I didn't get a decent photo of her. Unfortunately, I didn't think to take my real camera, so these photos are all from my phone - hence the pretty dire quality!
