This weekend I had the chance to catch Airealism’s new show, FUN. It was the directing debut for Sam Morrison and the third show from the London-based Airealism. It was fun, indeed, though a bit bitter sweet for Amy and I as it reminded us of how much we’ll miss the aerial arts community in London when we move back to Texas later this month.

Oh, you know, it was just like any other weekend where you get to see one of the greatest movies of all time IN A PALACE! Yeah, yeah, it was a bit crowded and it didn’t match their previous BRILLIANT screening of Blade Runner, but it was great fun nonetheless.

These are the first behind-the-scenes photos of the Aircraft Circus preparing for their performance of Madam Pain’s Boudoir Circus in London this summer. These particular photos are of the characters Natalia and Natasha (Talia & Tasha).

On March 20th 2010 the Hustlers of the Texas Rollergirls traveled to London to play the London Brawling London Rollergirls team in the A Fistful of Rollers bout. It was an intense match and incredibly close (tied at several points throughout most of the bout) with the Hustlers finally pulling ahead to win 84-63.
In addition to the bout, the Texas Rollergirls hosted a roller derby bootcamp where they trained 175 participants. On their travel blog they added, “We loved their enthusiasm and watch out America–Europe has some amazing skaters and they’re going to be gunning for us all someday in the near future…”
Roller Derby is getting big in the UK and many other parts of the world and received a huge boost in attention from the release of the movie Whip It, based on Shauna Cross’ Derby Girl, starring Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page, about Texas Roller Derby.
As a photographer originally from Austin Texas (where I’m proud to say I was a Texas Rollergirls fan!) that now lives in London (where I’m proud to say I’m a London Rollergirls fan!), I want to thank both teams for coordinating a matchup I could previously only dream of and congratulate both teams for a well played bout!

These are some of the highlights from the Performance Workshop the Aircraft Circus did last week. The students each had three days to put a new routine together and then perform it in front of an audience on Saturday night. All of the students did an outstanding job and there was a nice amount of diversity in the performances (one silks, one hoop, three static trapeze and one doubles trapeze). I’ll post more from each routine over the next week.
