Circus Day 15

Spent all of circus today going over acro stuff for the show on Friday. This is apparently the most ambitious show they have ever attempted for this level. It was a lot of fun and I realized how far we have all come as we prepared for it and were able to do moves easily that we thought were really hard a bit ago. Nothing new, but there were three things that I was able to do without a problem that I had not been able to do in the past. I have a giant painful bug bite on my elbow, but barely noticed during the class (I have since discovered all anti-itch creams in my house have aloe as the first ingredient, which I am allergic to).

On the way back, we had a hitchhiker who was along for the ride to help on costumes. She is from Montreal, so I asked a question that has been seriously bugging me. This is whether there are other circus school opportunities like this one. She said yes, one other, in Australia. This amazes me. I really hope that other circus groups will take that to heart and start helping random women work on circus stuff. This has been one of the nicest groups of girls I have ever met and a seriously positive experience. It has renewed some degree of faith in humanity for me.
