Fringe World Show

Hallo Everyone!

 How are you this morning? Enjoying the rain? I sure am. :)

 Karaoke went well on Sunday! :D It was loads of fun, and to my surprise and relief no one sung a Frozen song. The majority of the kids who turned up were between 2-13, and then there's me, the 15 year old. :P I don't think many of their parent's liked me that much, purely because I was the oldest. At least, that's what I thought from the way they looked at me.
 I sung "Popular" from Wicked The Musical, and that was pretty fun! The tempo was faster than normal, which I found slightly distracting, but otherwise it was fine! At the end of the song someone said I should voice the next Disney Princess, and two other people told me I was awesome. :3


 Anyway, to the original reason I began to write this post...

 So I will assume that the majority of my readers will know about the Fringe World Show. If not, I highly recommend reading the Wikipedia Page on it. It'll give you an idea on what it's about. At least, what one of the Australian ones are like...

 So some of you may remember when I was telling you about Clown Vs Ninja, yes? Or was that on Facebook? I can't remember. Anyway, last year I did two circus shows called Clowns Vs Ninja. I got to be one of the Ninja and did a very short 'solo' act, which you can watch here on my YT channel. I also have got quite a few photos from it...

 Anyway, I have been alerted that we may be revising Clowns Vs Ninja for a kid's Fringe Show! My brother and I will be putting in our EOI forms next Thursday, and if there are enough people interested we will be going ahead with it! We need around 10-15 people for it to start, so I have my fingers crossed that it happens!
 If it does, we'll be having to do lots of circus training, along with "Ninja stealth workshop"s, prop manipulations, stunt fighting, and so on. It's going to be loads of fun! Plus it will be my first proper circus show to ever be in, and not to mention my first time to perform in the Fringe, which is pretty exciting! I can't wait!

Here's two photos from one of the previous CvN shows:

Me performing in the first show.

Backstage prep a month before the show started. We were all trying on costumes that day and getting to know each other. That was also the day I decided to wear my green Ninjago t-shirt and met a fellow Ninjago fan...

 Well, I must run, we're meant to tidying the house today. I also might pop down to the library, cause I have some books to return, and I might do some busking... it's the right day for it! Well, maybe not if I get rained on...

 Stay safe, enjoy life and I'll see you all later!

Cirquest Circus School!

Hello guys! :D

 How are you? Enjoying your first day of school for the week? :P

 Well, I have had a busy weekend! I went to work on Saturday morning and instead of teaching classes I sorted through pictures from a few of the circus shows from last year. Then I went home, didn't go to the Medieval Faire, and went to my Cousins' 21st, which was loads of fun: we hung around the camp fire, roasted marshmallows, baked pizza, and chatted for hours. I ended up getting home at 1am and didn't get to sleep until about 1:20.
 And then I was half asleep for most of yesterday's Pirates rehearsal. xD

 But today I thought I'd tell you about Cirquest!



 So Cirquest is a Circus School run by Disco Cantinto. They do lessons for anyone between the age of 0-60 (I dunno, I actually haven't seen anyone over 30 at the lessons, but they do have lessons for all ages), and teach Aerials, Acrobatics, Acrobalence, and more.
 I've been teaching there since... 2013, I believe! And recently I realised that they don't have a Youtube Channel. Sure, they don't have to have one, but they're always trying to get more people to come and join them. They never really post much up on their Facebook, so I decided to ask my boss/teacher if I could set up and run a Youtube Channel for her, and she said yes!

 So it's set up, and has a few videos on it. I'll be posting videos on it whenever someone sends me one or I film something/put together a new slideshow of photos. So far the page only has one Sub (me!) but if you like Circus, please Subscribe to the Channel! Plus you can follow them on the G+ page I've made, or you could follow them on Facebook:

 Cirquest Circus School | Youtube
 Cirquest Circus School | Google Plus
 Cirquest Circus School | Facebook

 And here's a photo from one of our previous shows:


 I'm in the flute video on the channel: One the Trapeze in the black dress. :)

 I've also remembered that today is Music Monday! I'll give you guys a few songs, because I haven't done a MM for a while, and I've also got three new favourites!

 First up is Boys Like U by Ali Brustofski and Like the Movies. I've been obsessing for the past few days! XD :3
 
 Second is Top of the World, by Greek Fire. My friend intorduced me to the song. :3

 And third is All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor! I really like it, because it tells girls that it's acceptable to be curvy - you don't have to be a stick (sorry...) to be liked.


 Well, it's the top of the tide, and I must be off - I have some tidying to do, plus I have another Pirates Rehearsal. The Show starts in 2 weeks, so I'm pretty pumped up about it!
 Well, I'll probably be back on later in the week, and I might post up some more on my LEGO Blog - maybe even a few more chapters from Rise of the Nerds! You never know..

 Catch you all later!
