Premiere and time for holidays!

After a successful premiere of "Après-quoi!" at Circustheraterdagen on 3rd June 2011 with loads of positive feedback the Duo takes a short holiday to have a fresh start in august with performances in Germany and the Netherlands. Thanks to all our supporters, especially Jonas Althaus and Joris van der Midde, who helped us a lot during the creation. The baby is born and growing. We are happy.

Anni & Thibault at Rotterdam Circusstad Festival 2011

We performed "Après-Quoi!" last weekend at the Festival. Nice weather, nice audience, nice shows. The video shows some impressions from the Festival (our performance at 6 min 40).

Now we started working on an extended version of the act! The piece will be about 20min. long. We already had two inspirational working sessions with our stage diretor Joris van der Midde. Premiere will be in June during the "Cirustheaterdagen" on Schiermonnikoog. Check their website:  http://circustheaterdagen.nl/artiesten/

Creation

The latest phase of creation finnished (officially) with the presentation of a new Solo-Act at ACaPA on the 3rd march. But this time the performance turned out to rather be the start than the end of a new working phase. There are new things to discover.... and hopefully loads of possibilities to try them out.

this picture was taken by Petra Overbeek Bloem during the performance.

Circo Circolo - Festival for New Circus

Second Groupperformance with ACaPA. For the Circolo Circolo Festival in Liempde (NL) we prepared the show "Negensprong" in the forest next to the festival site. The audience was guided through the forest, where the performance took place on several spots.

The show was directed by Joris van Midde.

European Juggling Convention 2010

The European Juggling Convention (EJC) is the biggest meeting for jugglers in the world. It takes place every year in a different country in Europe. During one week jugglers from all around the world come together to learn from each other, give workshop, exchange their ideas.
This year the EJC took place in Joensuu, Finland.
