Festive Handstands...

It's been a year of ups and downs, and upside downs for me. I've decided to celebrate the festive period with a series of handstands inspired by Mr Snowman here.... Merry Christmas...
...and a Happy New Year!

Panto#1

Back upto Pitlochry for my first of a few pantos this year.
Unfortunately I only have a few weeks up here so won't get to see the whole thing through to the end but its nice to be back!!!
Still a few wee cloths to paint though....

thorns galore.... lots of blue brick work...... all put together.....

Train train train......

So we have a wee show coming up very soon at Cottiers theatre. Its a cabaret night, so there some aerial, live music and a dj for afterwards dancey times. Its also my debut aerial performance- eeeek!!!

I'm doing a routing in my hammock, its been tough devising it and having the strength to get the through the whole routine without collapsing but I feel like I'm getting there.

Here's a wee sneak peak from my rehearsal video....

Wanna come and see us?

Top of the pyramid!!!

Being small has its advantages.....

Acrobats Galore..

I've kinda abandoned my little blog recently but I have been busy.

A few weekends ago I went to the Acrobatic Convention in Edinburgh. A whole weekend of aerial and acrobalance as well as some other cool stuff to try out! We had people from all over, London, France, Iceland......it was AMAZING!

I did quite a bit of acrobalance and as I was one of the smallest I seemed to get passed around the various tall people to be lifted. Good fun but my poor little arms were bruised afterwards.

I also did some trapeze, silks, more chinese pole and some tightwire (and discovered I am definitely not a natural at walking on thin wire!)

However, one of my highlights of the weekend was Teeterboard! I'd never done it before but after having a taster I'd definitely do it again. Its basically a big see-saw. The flyer stands at one end and you have two people who run and jump on the other which sends you up in the air. Its quite tiring when your doing the runnng and jumping part but I really enjoyed it when it was my turn to fly- heres a little video of my somersault... YAY! ( i can't seem to turn it round so its on its side)
