Day 07 — A photo that makes you happy

circus, my circus troupe my family<3

i love these guys with every fibre of my body they make my day spent with them the best just by simply being there. we have our mummy and daddy (charlie and nathanael) and the rest of us are all just the siblings :).

we were already close but after doing the annual show last year NOCTURNO we all became so much closer, were we spent everyday for nearly 2 weeks in september together rehearsing and getting in each others lack of personal space. it got to the point where we had a day off and didnt know what he hell we were supposed to do with ourselves..... the solution we were all on facebook going insane from seperation :(.

these guys mean the absoulute world to me and there is now way id be able to get by without them i miss the show period it was only a small show but was one of the most amazing experiences i HAVE EVER HAD !!!

i love them always will

Day 06 — Whatever tickles your fancy

i have sat here and been putting this one off all day simply because i didnt know wat to choose :/
so i have decided to discuss one of my extreme loves... AERIALS

ever since i saw my first circus as a little tiny girl i have loved the idea of "defying gravity" and soaring through the air on a trapeze. as i grew older i discovered there was more out there to fly on. My first try on a aerial appartatus my beloved cloud swing, i am slowely mastering this piece of amazing-ness but i am slowly finding new loves for new appartus such as tissu, trapeze and aerial ring.

no feeling in the world could compare to that of grasping a bar of a flying trapeze and flying metres in the air and leaving a part of yourself behind.

sadly my body is starting to take some serious permanent injuries, my wrists are now forever slowely slipping out of alignment and popping in pain :(. my elbow has now a permanent rope burn and from learning static trapeze i now have scars on the back of my knee.

but sadly there is something therapeutic about getting new battle wounds after months of no aerials it makes you realise how hard your working..

Day 05 — Your favorite quote

I HAVE TWO GOD DAMN IT

numberino uno


yes look i know it is infact a refrence from WICKED but to me its more than that its the way id like to live the rest of my life defying gravity. i am in a circus and my dream has always been to become an aerilist and the only time i ever feel like i am flying like elphaba is during circus. to fly is to be free, to fly is to forget about everything and to defy your fears. i would even like to get this tattoo on my hip bone to also remind me of my dreams and to keep on trucking thru the troubles and find that form of escape again.

a quote from cirque du soleil it means dare to dream... enough said

day four- your favourite book

oh wow THIS is getting hard, so many books i have read over the years that have been incredible but one from my childhood stands out THE JUDY MOODY SERIES.
i had every book in the series and would read it and read it days on end.

it would be the book i would turn to when i couldnt sleep, even though i knew the story word for word i would still huddle up in my blankie and read it for hours on end.

thewere about a little american girl who was her own unique person and didnt live by anybody elses rules :)
she was strong determined and some what graceful. she had goals like saving the world, becoming famous and becoming independent.. a book any little girl should read :)

your favourite tv show DAY THREE

GLEE

who couldnt love this show ?!

any musical theatre lover has fallen inlove with this show, its brilliant and so inspiring for young performers to watch. It inspires us to not only carry out the things we love , but to not put our selves down for loving what we do. to be confident in ourselves and to never give up.

it teachers us to also step outside our comfort zones sometimes to archive the goal we want :)

as much rachel berry can be annoying she is in fact a great role model for young female performers, not the diva aspect but the self confidence and the knowledge that we can create greatness that we are all stars

love your glee(k) <3

day two- your favourite movie

CATS the musical (movie version)

when i was a little girl my nanny recorded a strange musical about cats on video, she handed me this video and it would have to be the most loved and watched movie I own.

from the amazing costumes, to the delicate makeup, the hardcore dances and captivating voices this movie/musical WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVOURITE.

i know every word off by heart, most dances of by heart it truley is something amazing/inspiring to me. The movie made such a big impression on me, that it inspired me to want to become a performer its something ive always also aspired to be in.

i am a true die hard fan and have watched this movie so many times, week by week i wouldn't be surprised if ive watched it as many hours as i have been at school

day one- your favourite song

hmmmm the toughest question EVER to answer, this is something that is always forever changing with me but there is a certain one song at the moment that i am completely linked to emotionally and therefore can listen to it for hours on repeat..

DRUM ROLLL PLEASE.......................

touch me from the amazing SPRING AWAKENING!

the song reminds me of one day in one summer spent with a friend curled up in my room not saying anything just hugging and holding hands.

that memory is something i will never forget and everytime i hear that song i think of that time.it was even more amazing live.

the lyrics are powerful and express the truth of our deepest desires.

no words can actually describe how much i love this song!
