Acrobatics

Cirque du Soleil is known for gravity-defying, seemingly impossible stunts. When watching the incredible acrobatic performances, the audience usually forgets that the performers risk their lives almost every show. A show apart of Cirque du Soleil is Kà, it goes down as the most expensive theatrical showing ever created. With a budget of $165 million, it has some of the most incredible technical elements one will ever see. Along with these elements come danger. The show has seen a number of accidents

On December 8th, 2017 I viewed the Martial Artists and Acrobats of Tianjin at the Walton Arts Center. I enjoyed several different aspects of the performance. The choreography and the costumes conveyed different ideas to the audience. Sometimes the choreography was slow and sad, other times it was upbeat and happy. This variety provided a gratifying experience to those in the house. Throughout the show, you could recognize a distinctive theme relating back to the title. The dances depicted hobbies

Meta: Throwing all things bright and bubbly to one side, Pogo’s Circus is a game from Espresso that embraces the horror. Featuring nothing short of a living nightmare, will you survive long enough to scoop the jackpot? Pogo’s Circus Review When it comes to entertainment, there is nothing that quite rivals that of the circus. From the animals to the daredevil performers, there is no denying that the circus has it all and then some. Speaking of the circus, that’s what proves to be the inspiration

A cloud of chalk stood before me, filling the entrance to the area. While my body was at the Flanders International Acro Cup, my mind raced through the years that I had spent training. When I started my acrobatic gymnastics career when I was seven years old, traveling to a competition as a part of the national team seemed like a pipe dream. My love for the sport was mostly in awe of the older girls’ skills. Watching their practices was as fun as going to the circus as they could throw each other

Katniss, it reminds me that I was an acrobatic school in my 13 years old. Everyone attending the school had extraordinarily strict dietary restriction. Chocolates, chips, breads, cookies are snacks that were prohibited. Rice and noodle were limited to only a small amount for eating, because they are high carb and high starch food. We were only allowed low calorie food to maintain our physiques even though we were extremely active and were required to practice acrobatics on a regular basis. We didn’t eat

Highly Acrobatic Gatsby Erotica The public view on fanfiction tends to focus more on the unorthodox: erotic Gatsby fic, the hypothetical romantic relationship of Kirk and Spock, or the media hurricane that was E.L. James’s Fifty Shades of Grey. Fanfiction is treated as a recent phenomenon despite being around since the existence of the written language; many classic, derivative works could be considered fanfiction of “open source” content. While big media sources such as CNN, Yahoo, or Fox discuss

Great performances in media do not always have to involve theatrical acrobatics. An actor’s range or displays of genuine, emotional depth are necessary to build a character that is alive and multi-faceted. But, an actor’s ability to encapsulate a narrative within one’s own character is what is truly a display of an artist. Poetry has a phrase to describe the use of as few words as possible to encompass vast terrain of depth called the economy of language. Actors may not know it, but they operate

had to deal with huge ocean storms. These storms could destroy a new society with no notice. (Acrobatic, 2014) There were good things about being a seafaring civilization. As the Ancient Greeks migrated to the coast of the Mediterranean, and Black Seas, they were able to put all of their energy into maritime trade, eventually making them dominant of the busiest waterway in the ancient world. (Acrobatic, 2014) Persian people, or “people of Arya”, settled south of Iran in the plains of Pars. These

This summer my family and I visited Branson Missouri where we witnessed the Acrobats of China. Acrobatics holds a large presence in Chinese culture for centuries now. Several mythological and religious stories have been performed through acrobatics shows. The Acrobats of China group managed to capture all of the past history while still adding a modern twist for today's audiences. The show started six in the evening and lasted all the way through midnight. All the performances were mainly based

classic images of backyard entertainment come to mind. Kids find ways to invent countless different games to play with their friends. The numerous front flips, handstands, and acrobatics are great ways for potential divers and gymnasts to get their start. On the other hand, trampolines have been a source of controversy. Acrobatics can lead to many heinous injuries. The lack of a net will have kids flying off of the sides and breaking bones. The exposed frames have gaps where kids can fall through and
