The following options are effective in a variety of ways. (Not only circus theme events) |
|
Option 1 (As outlined on the website) |
|
Nelligan starts the show. First he mingles in the audience showing an old photograph of his younger days. The performance officially begins with the introduction of music directing Nelligan’s memories to the slackwire. After wobbling around on the wire various feats are achieved. To the audiences surprise, Nelligan doesn’t stay old for long. He actually changes clothes while balanced on the wire transporting him and the audience back to the days when he was a young energetic performer |
|
This act features a mix of difficult balancing skills, and hilarious moments with help from audience members. |
|
Option 2 |
|
Deip performs the entire act. The performance includes very much the same skills and format as option one except it does not have the old man content. Changing clothes on the wire is still featured as well as all the comedy aspects including participation from members of the audience. |
|
The
style of presentation is different to option one, more suiting Deip’s
character. |
|
Option 3 |
|
This act features a new character ‘Stem’ (not yet shown on the website) created to match the aesthetic look of the new slackwire apparatus. All the skills featured are the same as option one and two, except that it has a futuristic feel in a similar vein to the famous French/Canadian circus ‘Cirque du Soleil.’ It also includes a serve of comedy with members of the audience |
|
Option 4 (performance art) |
|
The new character ‘Stem’ together with the new slackwire apparatus has the ability to fit in to a modern environment. Eg: Art gallery, exhibition, or museum Because of the unusual look, ‘Stem’ and his slackwire balancing skills can be very effective as a performance art piece designed to interact with a transient audience. This performance is not structured like a normal stage presentation. |
|
Option 5 (performance art) |
|
The ‘Wild Creature’ (See character page on website) is presented in the same format as option 4 except there is no fancy slackwire apparatus. Balancing skills are featured on an old thick rope made to look like a jungle vine. Because there is no self-supporting apparatus, special arrangements would need to be made to secure the ‘jungle vine’. This option is best presented in the environment of a zoo or rain forest, and would be viewed as an exhibit. |
