Circus Juventas

@circusharmony Ding, Ding! Yes! You are an astute circus watcher.

@CircusJuventas Cloud swing has hand/foot loops and Mexican cloud swing does not.

Another pop quiz: who knows the difference between cloud swing and Mexican cloud swing, and can say which is which?

That's it, friends. The last bit of the last show in the 2023 Spring series. Phenomenal, wasn't it? MAY ALL YOUR DAYS BE CIRCUS DAYS.

(Hey -- if you're on the clean team, stay to reset the arena. You know who you are!)

2nd HALF WALKAROUND I bet they can hear the cheering in MPLS.

Sometimes it's HARD to get back home! And then your pals give you a hand, and the crowd LOVES YOU. Helps when you're 6 for 6 for catch&return...

Alright, now, circus fans, here we go with FLYING TRAPEZE.

Whoops. Juggling two devices and two locations. Didn't hit "tweet" when I switched.

Here come the UNICYCLES. Then big swings.

WUBBLES in the crowd while we rig the Flying Trapeze. Always a hit. Maybe we don't need to put on a show at all -- just toss out some wubbles...

CLOUD SWING, MEXICAN CLOUD SWING, & SWINGING TRAPEZE. they’ll bring us to flying trapeze, and that will close out this afternoon’s show *AND* the Spring Show series.

Sitting up in the sound booth, you can hear the performers "calling" their own acts. And it's pretty interesting to listen to the timing and the amount of detail (or not).

HOOPS. Then Unicycle.

Every time I watch this act, I think about that adage (which I will not get right) about how transformation into a butterfly may be beautiful, but it's probably a pretty rotten process for the caterpillar. These butterflies are beautiful because the caterpillars were brave.

They brought the house down. Good thing STILTS & SLING looks so cool…

SILKS & PAS DE DEUX. I’m fond of this act—kinda creepy. Stilts & Sling follow.

You really gotta know where to put your feet, right?
