Last weekend brought me the coldest weather I have ever experienced and it is only fall! On Saturday and Sunday the weather remained around 7 degrees which no Winter in Australia could have prepared me for. Of course, it can drop lower in Perth but the winds here make it feel freezing... and the sad thing is... Winter hasn't even started! However, today the first day of the Thanksgiving long weekend brought sunny weather so Richard and myself went to China town to make the most of it. We had a big dim sum lunch which was really nice. Training this week and last week has been very good, but a long weekend could not have come at a better time, we all needed a little rest. The creation period has officially taken off and dances, acrobatics, costumes and acts are slowly but surely taking shape. The C2012 cast is made up of many beautiful people, who are mostly older and more experienced with circus so I have lots to learn. I didn't update my blog last weekend but I have some cool things I wanted to share. Firstly, Cirque artists and employees were given free tickets to the Michael Jackson Immortal Tour premier. The show was by no means a traditional Cirque du Soleil show, it was more like a concert minus the main star. I found it difficult to appreciate just how talented the dancers were as there was so much else going on, with all the lighting and video footage. However it was a spectacle and it was very entertaining, but traditional Cirque shows are definitely better in my opinion. Some of us also went to the World Press Photo Exhibition in Old Montreal. I really enjoyed this exhibition and I was happy to catch it the day it closed. It was a collection of the 'best of' photo journalism projects from around the world. Many of the photos were shocking but very,very interesting at the same time. Here are some photos...
