Faeries that light up - The Circus
We are happy to report a very successful 1st season of our latest production, Triple Bill, in September.  Thanks to everyone for their co-operation and assistance whether it was practical and physical or emotional and supportive it is all vital.

A special word of thanks is reserved for the composer and musician Gordon Mackay.  He does so much more than write the music.  He is a very positive support of both the school and company and not only for the creativity he invests in his music but in his sheer practical and hard working ethic that makes things work.  People have been complementary and remarked on the creativity involved in our productions but it is often the sheer grind of hard work, sweat and tears that gets everything to run smoothly without hitches.
The Ringmaster and her Circus Horses

Our backstage people who control the young dancers and ensure they step onto the stage beautifully presented and with not a hair out of place also deserve special mention. Checking, checking and more checking that a stitch is put in where necessary, that a battery is changed, that a quick change is effected with no fuss and trauma and above all that quiet and control reigns and all proceeds according to plan.  Thank you Glendalene, Sandra, Trisha, Naomi, Nadine and I know there are a lot more that just go quietly about helping.  And Erin and Kristin who so efficiently move scenery and curtains around on time – great work girls.  You are invaluable.

To the front of house hostesses – possibly the most detailed and complex job of all – keep  your cool and keep checking curtains, tickets, seating lighting, back gate locked and unlocked, toilets and yes - ensure our audience members feel looked after.

I know everyone joins me in thanking Chantal and Brandon of the Tribakery in the Blue Route Mall for their contribution to the well being of our audience.

Musical Instruments - The Organ Leanne and Tanya in a sombre moment
And we still have the 2nd season at the end of October and the 3rd season at the end of November.  So book early and let us have a sell out Triple season. Dancers need audiences - it is the motivating power.
