Bassline Circus

Yesterday i spent the day at Circus Space (swanky circus school)in Hoxton, watching the Bassline Circus rehearse. I'm going to be helping do the costumes for their summer show, which will tour throughout England and Scotland. Will remind yers to check 'em out nearer the time, but they defo gonna be at Stokefest and Glastonbury.

They're still in the early, tricky stages of devising the show, so was interesting to observe the strained negotiations and some interesting internal politics. They brought in the famous 'Archaos' director Pierrot Bidon (Archaos were French Circus madheads who juggled chainsaws in the 80s), who listened to all their ideas for the show, told them all to bugger off and leave him with 3 bottles of red wine until he emerged with the masterpiece. bleedin' eccentrics eh! Was defo an interesting insight and spoke lotsa franglais.
