*** Competition Closed *** *** Congratulations to Maylis Campbell *** *** Thank you to everyone who entered *** Before I go on, check out this preview video from the show. It looks so cool - I cannot wait to see it: [local /wp-content/uploads/2010/03/traces2.flv nolink] Traces features 5 young artists fresh out of circus school, all in their early twenties, mixing classic acrobatics with such street forms as skateboard, basketball, and parcours. The result is an intimate circus experience (à la Cirque du Soleil) yet with a more urban flavor, as these young artists explode onto the stage with a renewed dynamic energy.

And She Dreamed Of The Circus

The show was perfect, from start to finish. From the moment Zoe’s parents started levitating in their chairs, it was obvious that this was a show like no other. The level of skill and obvious dedication those performers have is extraordinary. The balance of humour (with John the clown) and breathtaking stunts (my favourite being the Banquine) was impeccable, the music creating the perfect atmosphere, and background performers ensuring that there was always something to look at.
