Our fab fire five enjoyed this gig so much and are happy to have been there once again after performing at the event for three years. This year our stilt performers 'The Furry Fireworks' joined the team for a great night of fire, fun, fireworks and 'muddy entertainment'.

'Giggle Aong...' Shows Tour

Through the summer we are touring: 'Giggle Along... Sailor'  'Giggle Along... Cowboy'  'Giggle Along... Fairy'  'Giggle Along... Again Sailor'  and  'Giggle Along... Roaming Romans',
We have had a great time delivering 'Sailor' at Mablethorpe right on the seafront surrounded by delightful chalets, during the show one little old lady was giggling away because we found a sausage in a bottle (instead of a message! script typo's should be checked!)
On Thursday we had another brilliant time at the Guildhall in Leicester delivering the Wild West event with stilts, Circus Station and the Craft Barn, ending the day with our 'Giggle Along ... Cowboy' Show again, we ended up in a Salon, instead of Saloon! (Bless those typo's)

Coming up... 'Giggle Along...' Fairy and Again Sailor at closed events and then 'Roaming Romans' for the Castle Park Festival on 29th August in Castle Gardens, Leicester.

LEICESTERSHIRE SCHOOLS PERFORMANCE @ CURVE

The Leicester - shire Arts in Education performance of the Snow Queen will be on this Saturday 10th July! You'll see our 10ft (possibly higher now with hair etc) Snow Queen puppet! We also worked with the pupils delivering a series of workshops during the devising process for elements they could incorporate into the performance, the workshops included visual techniques using fabric and everyday items, Circus Skills and Poi Spinning, we are looking forward to seeing the final performance to see how they have taken the skills onboard, developed and included them in the performance.
