Dear Friends of Aerial Angels,
After finishing up a whirlwind Canadian summer tour (read on to find out the naughty way we made $3000), the Angels will spend the fall in New England performing at King Richard's, Maryland, and the Pennsylvania Renaissance Festivals. We hope to see you with a turkey leg in hand! (Mmmm...tryptophan...) If you are receiving this message in horror, jump down to the bottom of the email to unsubscribe.
Angels Find Unprecedented Success at Waterloo Busker Carnival
The girls are back in town! In late August, the Aerial Angels completed an exhilarating summer tour of Canada at the Waterloo Busker Carnival in Ontario. The Angels were invited to present their signature "Naughty No No Show" as Waterloo's late-night adult performance, an annual benefit for the festival. Randy Warren, Director of Entertainment for the Busker Carnival, is grateful for the Angels' "polished, fun, and always unique" contribution. "In one word - outstanding! The show was fast paced, fun and had the perfect mix of adult entertainment in it. The audience votes with what they put in the hat, and with a hat of over $3,000, it was very clear people were thrilled and impressed with what they saw! The Naughty No No Show exceeded our expectations, wowed our audiences and contributed a nice sum of money to our starting budget for 2010."
Hoop, Silk and Trapeze Workshop Outside Boston - REGISTER NOW!
In this exciting, all-levels workshop, beginning aerialists will practice proper form while learning aerial holds, wraps and positions. Taught by Allison Williams, Artistic Director and founder of Aerial Angels, the class will start low and move upward with confidence, safety and fun! More advanced students will learn sequencing, multiple drops, and new ways to invent choreography and find inspiration for routines. The sessions are geared toward students 10 and up, but serious younger students may attend with instructor permission. This is a great opportunity for adults rediscovering circus or moving forward as aerial artists, as well as gymnasts who want to expand their skills and interested people of all ages. The workshop will be held at Tumble Time Gym in Pocasset, Massachusettes on Thursday evenings between October 1st and November 5th. For more information call Tumble Time at (508) 563-1200 or email Chelsea@angelsintheair.com.
Cassie Competes to Create Dream School
Cassie 'Miss Pussycat' Truskowski is on fire! An Aerial Angel since 2007, Cassie's skills include aerial silks and hoop, sideshow acts, burlesque, dance, equestrian arts, and fire-eating. Last summer, Cassie was the only woman extreme variety performer to make America's Got Talent...And she wasn't stopping! This summer, Cassie graced the cover of Revue Magazine's August "Hot" issue, and this week she begins performing for Grand Rapid's ArtPrize Competition. Her interactive show is "a dream that becomes reality, a world that opens all possibilities". If she wins the competition, Cassie will have the funds to start a circus school in Grand Rapids. "I want to give my gift to the world, and make its home in Grand Rapids." Cassie is currently teaching circus classes for Aerial Angels at For the Kidz Gym in Grand Rapids. Classes run Mondays and Wednesdays, and while the next session starts in October, drop-ins are always welcome. If you're in the area and want to join in, email Cassie at catraa@yahoo.com. If you don't catch up with Cassie at For the Kidz, she'll be performing every day at the B.O.B., fighting for her circus school. Watch the Aerial Angels schedule page for times!
Mask Workshops in Monaco
While you may know her better as 'Isabella' as she cracks the whip, swallows fire, and soars through the air, in her other life, Allison Williams is a noted mask and movement theatre artist. In August, Allison traveled to Monaco to offer mask workshops at the Mondial du Theatre festival. Doctor Roger Ellis of Grand Valley State University and the Grand Valley Shakespeare Festival serves on the Artistic Committee that extended the invitation. "The organizing committee of the Mondial sought a workshop leader with prestigious international experience, and someone specializing in physical theatre - mask, comedy, and characterization," says Ellis. Of her time in Monaco, Allison says, "The participants are 'amateur' in the original and best sense - here because they love theatre. And while I was challenged to explain exercises to a group of mixed ability and background, and to teach simultaneously in French and English with the help of my patient students who doubled as interpreters in both directions, I was also inspired by their work. The participants made joyful, open, unselfconscious and refreshing choices that expanded my work as well as theirs." |
