Busy, busy costuming bees

Our week began by creating some new costumes to add to our wardrobe. First on the list a bearded lady stilt costume for a victorian summer ball with a showgirl on stilts and a scary clown stilt costume.  We don't normally tour clowns as children and many adults have a fear of clowns, so we thought making a purposely scary, creepy clown would suit the victorian circus theme better. We'll upload some pictures here soon and also on our website http://www.geniiproductions.co.uk/

Carry on Banqueting...and our Swish Guard Stilt Walkers

Well, we have had a busy week of themed banquet entertainment including Living Statues, Circus and Stilt Walkers for Notts Uni Summer Ball and Stilt Walkers and a Fire Show for a military Casablanca themed Summer Ball.

Our 'Swish Guard' Stilt Walkers ranks have increased and we now have Roman Soldiers, The Genii Knights, St George, St Patrick, Kings and Queens as well as our Toy Soldiers and Poi Twirling Troops! The 'Swish Guard' can also parade on our 2 person stilt creations from our stable: choose from the Genii Dragon, Una the Unicorn, Hugo Horse or even Rudolph!

'Giggle Town' for festivals and events

We have added new activities for our 'Giggle Town' package for fun days, fetes and festivals. We now have our Carnival Games area which is designed to cater for families with younger participants that are unable to do the Circus Skills including lots of throwing, catching and collecting. These activities have proved extremely popular and younger participants even make up their own games although the exact rules and how to play their 'new' games can be confusing! The Carnival Games run alongside our Circus Skills or Art Cafe.
