How do you critique such an established production powerhouse as Cirque du Soleil? Set in the magnificent Royal Albert Hall, Cirque du Soleil’s latest production Totem is a sumptuous celebration of the evolution of humankind - what drives us, nature and the world around us. That which has brought us from the primordial soup into the fully fledged mobile-phone-wielding present. Balance, seduction, science - themes that have moved us along the path of evolution are unpacked through the dazzling … [Read more...]

Hoops and Loops at Battersea Circus Tent | Wandsworth Arts Fringe
Last night the Mayor of Wandsworth, Cllr Leslie McDonald officially opened the 9th Wandsworth Arts Fringe in the Battersea Circus Garden, an old-fashioned “big top” in Shillington Park Battersea.

Review of OVO – Cirque du Soleil at The Royal Albert Hall
Cirque du Soleil returns to the majestic Royal Albert Hall to kickstart 2018 with its show, OVO!

Review of Crash by Chivaree Circus at The Cockpit Theatre

Consequently, I had extremely high expectations for their new production Crash at the Cockpit theatre. Without a shadow of a doubt, I can say it exceeded my expectations! What is love?

The youthful cast of seventeen artists, acrobats, dancers and jugglers, bring an engaging, raw energy to the event. Which is made of separate set pieces, scenes, put … [Read more...]
