#circus performance

Hi tumblr, you can call me Pratt Fall. I’ve been working on a personal project and I need your help! I’m looking for people who remember the band Circus Contraption. My goal is to archive as much as possible from the band. If you or someone you know saw them perform. Or simply have memories of listening to them. I want your personal photos, videos and stories. Anything you might have will be valuable, send them my way!

hi!!!!! i do circus arts too and i was wondering what type of things you especially like/specialize in?

cool!!! I do silks, and I did trapeze for about a year before, and I wanna do Lyra too, im just too busy :( I’ve also done tightrope walking and stilt walking in the past, but silks is the main thing I do (I started in 2022)!! What about you?

Circus au Alya and Marinette performing on hoop/Lyra! ❤️

A sort of gentle flow performance, to represent the flourishing of love and life. The Lyra is decorated with a selection of flowers that represent long life and everlasting love according to old flower language guides. The performers are dressed in champagne coloured leotards with a thin, silk skirt, to represent the freedom in love and life.

I’ve actually been taking hoop/Lyra classes and while I wish I could say these poses were ones I have learnt, I haven’t progressed that far yet! Next doodle I’ll try and reference a photo of my own progress! 😎 your welcome to ask about aerial hoops/pole with me if you’d like!!!

I spent 2 days finishing this. But don’t suggest me as what you think I am.

... (I really don’t have much to say, okay?)

I love moves like this where I can flip forward and backward and roll around, all while feeling very secure.

welp

that was a disappointing waste of time.

I put together a full harlequin costume only for me to not get on the Lyra once.

Apparently my instructor is a fucking idiot and had the Lyra pushed off to the side where the people coming in couldn't see it.

She also cut the routines for stupid jumps, amateur Russian pole and cheap ribbon waving.

She had a few do poses on the Lyra but they were behind the cheep ass streamers and in the corner so no one saw it. Plus there were a lot of  youngin’s who had no clue what they were doing so she was helping them. Which means it took them forever to do a move.

All and all it was so boring we had a ton of people walking out.

I tried to help out by doing what I do best, being the comic relief. I was joking, dancing and juggling.

Our poor juggler was terrified. He could hardly do anything he was so nervous. It didn’t help that the instructor hadn’t had him pull together a routine. Just threw him out there. I tried to help but he said he just couldn’t do it.

At least I was able to make my fellow circus peeps laugh. I’m pretty sure our sword swallow-er thought I was fucking hilarious. I knew my dad absolutely lost his shit when I made my mom drag me across the floor during a segment.
