What a week it was, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday I was on assignment with Scenestr to check out shows at Wonderland Festival, comedian Alex Williamson and Woody Allen’s new movie Wonder Wheel. Recuperating on Tuesday I went along to see Circa on Wednesday at Queensland Performing Arts Centre. My first assignment given to me by Scenestr magazine was to go see Queensland Ballet’s Raw in 22 March, 2017 at QPAC. As we come to the end of the year such coincidences feel appropriate to me. Karen took me to see a performance from Circa with the Brandenburg Orchestra earlier this year so I knew we were in for a treat.
As we began to watch last week, I have to admit I was genuinely enthralled. I believe contemporary circus maybe one of the great art forms going at the moment and quite simply a show from Circa is the best thing to see in Brisbane at the moment.

Produced by Eyeball Media Enterprises Scenestr. is an online national magazine with local offices around Australia. With over twenty years of publishing history they’ve excelled at moving into the digital realm but they remain at heart from the streets. They still publish magazines in print for Perth, Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane every month. If you’re into music they’re a great read but they do cover all of the arts including festivals, stand-up comics, fashion, theatre and film. I feel very fortunate to get to write for them.
Thank you for your continued support and reading, I’m not able to blog as much as I used to including reading my fellow bloggers’ posts. It’s been one hell of ride this year getting to write for publications and share it with you all. The next day an opportunity came up to interview a contemporary circus performer which I was lucky enough to get to do so it made one heck of a busy 7 days. I look forward to sharing that story with you in the near future.

I never imagined myself going to see a contemporary circus, Lloyd. Your review makes it seem worth watching though.
That was a busy week indeed!
Best wishes, Pete.
Yes it was Pete of which I felt very lucky to have it but at the same time it is difficult to juggle with the “day” job. I’m glad you enjoyed.
I love the contemporary circus performance, and agree with you, Lloyd, the art and talent are astounding. Congratulations on a week filled with work and success and being enthralled.
Thanks Jet, that is most kind.
Sweet opportunity! I am really happy your journalistic career is getting a foothold.
It’s been a bit busier as we’ve gone along, here’s hoping the pace continues in the new year. Thanks Cindy.
I segwayed into scenestra and watched the Kransky sisters doing “Santa Claus is coming to town.” That was worth a giggle.
Thanks for teaching me.
No worries Paol. 🙂
