It is Saturday morning,Gregangelo and I are just returned a few weeks ago from a long trip to Turkey and the Netherlands and are forging full with full "Velocity" into the new year.

Gregangelo and I are getting ready to leave the house for a V-Troupe rehearsal, I just spoke with Andie Rose, a V-Troupe aerialist, on the phone about a new date and combining 2 aerial apparatus into one. The photo associated with this post is Andie. She is a magical and beautiful young woman who is attending School of the Arts here in San Francisco and has been training in circus arts for approximately 9 years. We are rehearsing a new act that Gregangelo and Naja, our associate artistic director, have created for an event next Thursday with the emphasis on profiling the human body at its peak in performance. The event is for The Health Trust a great organization. Its mission is to make Silicon Valley the healthiest region in America. They are presenting an Gunter von Hagens' Body World 2 at the San Jose Tech Museum. We are part of a special event for the exhibit and Health Trust.

In addition we are preparing today for our Variety Arts Showcase at CUE Space in Oakland. This showcase features Bay Area Artists in all disciplines and provides a platform for artists to showcase developing, new or existing acts in front of a public audience. Disciplines often included are Circus Aerial Acts, Contortion, Dance, Magic & Illusion, Comedy Sketches, Visual Arts, Film, Live music and more.

January is turning out to be a very busy administrative month in regards to future events and opportunities. There are multiple exciting developments in discussions for the new year and I look forward to sharing these in the near future.
