Cooling off
Things are cooling off, but the fun isn't over yet. There's still time for you to come join the fun! There's shadow puppetry, Baruzula, and music. Don't let the CircX pass you by!
CircX is Home
There are so many different kinds of people here. There's a big group watching the fire dancers, but there are smaller groups scattered all over the yard. Some are just talking, others are dancing. There's a group from the Summer Youth Theatre Program hanging out in the cafe. A friend of mine who has never been to the Vortex or to CircX before tonight told me that she LOVES this place and feels like she's come home! Yay for the Vortex and for the free circus for the people! This is absolutely the place to be!
Polaris Tribe
The crowd has had to back up a little -- the Polaris Tribe is doing fire dancing and nobody wants their hair singed. Fire is spinning and the people are in awe. It's quite a sight lighting up the yard at the Vortex.
Trapeze
The trapeze artist is phenomenal. The crowd is having a blast. There are adults, kids, goths, hippies, nerds, hipsters, dogs.....everyone is welcome! Come out to the free circus for the people -- we still have a couple of hours left!
You missed it!
Wow - if you weren't here, you totally missed it! Andy was performing on the lyra and his pants got stuck on the hoop, so he just took them off and finished the performance in his, very stylish, red undies! :o)
Still More Fun to Come
There's still lots more fun to come! Find your way out here and watch Sky Candy Aerials --- they're just getting started. And there's trapeze, fire arts, and more bellydance after that!
