Circus x 2

I went to the circus yesterday. We are extremely fortunate to have a wealth of cultural opportunities in our own backyard here in the arctic. One of the best is Circus Juventas - a youth performing arts circus (think junior Cirque du Soleil). Last year was our first time attending. They're celebrating their 15th year and I can't believe I missed out on 13 fantastic performances. This is one of the local best kept secrets that just has to get out. This year's performance is "Yulong: The Jade Dragon" and it did not disappoint. Acts include 97 performers ages 3 to 22 performing hoop diving, tightrope walking, flag tumbling, Chinese pole acrobatics, triangle trapeze, french trapeze, wall trampoline, martial arts, German wheel, traditional Chinese dances and much, much more!

These are synchronized aerial scarf performers - incredible!


I also have a circus within my home most every day of the week. I didn't snap the photo in time, but just missed Sookie (the cat) taking food out of Abbie's (the dog) dish. Dogs and cats living together, what is the world coming to?!


Name that movie:
What do you mean "biblical"?
Human sacrifices, dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!
