Training has been going really well over the last few months, and we have definitely settled into our new home. It has been good meeting the new recruits.
Its great to have Leah and Derek 
on board. On a personal level for me, having Leah has also helped my training as well, especially on the harness. Its good to have someone of a similar height and ability as me. Although we are very mischievous together on the harness (I think to Jean-Marie’s despair at times hehe). We have been putting together some nice moves and its also been great given the chance to experiment with different moves and working together. Leah has also come on leaps and bounds on the cocoons. She has no fear and is really strong. Derek has settled in well, making the harness look easy and elegant straight away.
A production company has also shown interest in filming a documentary about Cirque Nova. They have already done a little bit of filming at one of our training sessions, and some private interviews. However we have to wait to see if channel 4 commissions the production company to go forward and make the documentary a reality. Fingers crossed.
The cast for the day
Recently some of the guys did the Tottenham festival which looked good. Cirque Nova provided workshops, stilt walkers and other characters for the day. Unfortu
nately I didn’t make it to watch them, but from the photos and things Jean-Marie said the day it, it went well.They also had a gig at Victoria Park, which was a big festival with a calm and lovely ambience, with lots of attractions and fairs. Heart and Soul had a big top where some the guys performed throughout the day.
