The Brighton Fringe: England's largest annual arts festival, and the reason that the Old Steine has been teeming with life for the past month, from pop-up bars to circus tents to cage dancers. With more than 970 events over the course of 4 weeks, it didn't seem right to only see one. A friend from circus class and I had gone to (what else?) a circus performance mid-May. Freshly returned from Italy, it was only right to make sure Michelle got a bit more of a proper introduction to Brighton before sending her back to the States. And with Brighton proudly strutting it's stuff for the final few days of the Fringe, the timing could hardly be better. In a half week, with a very complaisant Nicolas, we managed to squeeze in both the Bad Luck Cabaret and a Friday night performance of Circus'cision: the Ones that Made the Cut. As someone who's been studying circus for the past year, can I just saw, wow and wow. Also, a thank you to Nicolas, who sat with us in the front row and was singled out for a beating from a clown. (That's not the sort of stuff I learn in circus class.)
