Circus Oz and interview with show perfromer Robbie Curtis
Since 1978 Circus Oz has taken its self-crafted performances of wit, grace and spectacle around the globe, to critical acclaim. 

Circus Oz show is a rock-n-roll, animal free circus that adults and children can enjoy.

Kieran McNamara joined the new TWENTYSIXTEEN Circus Oz program special preview for media. Kieran also had a chance to interview one of the performers, Robbie Curtis  Today Kieran shares his impressions with all our readers.

CIRCUS OZ
Circus Oz TWENTYSIXTEEN
We had the opportunity to attend the Circus Oz Gala Evening to enjoy another wonderful Circus Oz production. What a wonderful night out of the cold and wet of a Melbourne winter for a few hours in the big top. We received a Welcome To Country from a descendant of the traditional land owners that was heartfelt and a beautiful way to start the evening.

The show provides a great mix of different acts from group juggling, flying trapeze, the Chinese pole and unicycle adagio. What I particularly liked was that the band led by musical director Ania Reynolds were an integral part of the show. From the opening entrance of the performers playing trumpets, the tumbling act over the piano (see photos), the drum act and the mobile collection of triangles and drums. I enjoyed looking over towards the band during the show and seeing them genuinely happy and lively and great in their costumes. It was nice to see the genuine and joyful expressions on the performers faces intermixed with the character faces they were portraying.

The show included the usual juggling portion but with a twist involving the entire group and also with three people stacked on each other juggling. There were wonderful examples of strength demonstrated by various members of the ensemble including a mix of strong woman and strong man elements. New ensemble member Robbie Curtis provided an entertaining mix of grace and fluidity with his more dance-like routine on the mat to contrast his more dynamic strong man and juggling elements.

The mood and flow of the show was wonderful with the right mix of slapstick, comedy, music and incredible circus acts we've come to expect from the Circus Oz ensemble. All of the performers brought something interesting and were able to showcase their individual skills while ensuring the show was entertaining throughout. There were the mesmerizing sequences of the performers flying out over the audience in an graceful aerial act, the shock moments during the chair dream sequence, the heart stopping flying trapeze along with a few other surprises.

Congratulations to Guest Show Director Anni Davey and the rest of the Circus Oz crew and performers on a thoroughly entertaining and wonderful show. The mix of humour aimed at different ages ensures a fun experience for kids and adults alike. Whether you have kids or not, get down to the big top at Birrarung Marr and watch the Circus Oz TWENTYSIXTEEN production. It is not to be missed!

CIRCUS OZ TICKETS FOR TWENTYSIXTEEN SHOW
KM: Thanks to a show performer Robbie Curtis for taking the time to answer some questions.
What attracted you to Circus Oz?
​

RC: I joined at the beginning of the year and enjoy the work and the collaborative mix between music and acrobatics. It's also a collaborative environment where people get to take part in group acts as well as perform as individuals.
CIRCUS OZ FB PAGE
KM: How much time is spent in preparing for a new show like TWNETYSIXTEEN?

RC: We were lucky to have a lengthy development process of 6-7 weeks to develop it and then toured around regional Victoria so feel that it is a well honed show.

KM: How do you combine the grace of dance and ballet with the strength of acrobatic work?

RC: I studied dance full time for 3 years and fell in love with dance and always had a love of physical theatre. Fusing dance with acrobatics and the dance elements has added a new outlook on how things flow and the different components of not only focusing on acrobatic positions but the transformation of movement.
READ ABOUT TWENTYSIXTEEN SHOW
KM: Do you prepare differently for a show with Circus Oz where there can be such a range of ages in the audience?

RC: We've made a cutting edge show for all age groups with circus having physicality, surprises, gender roles and images of hope. Different images for the audience with the female lifting the big guys to create a difference and surprise.

KM: What do you think will be the most surprising parts of the new show for the audience?

RC: Always trying to push the physicality and movement that hasn't been seen before. Juggling mixed with acrobatics and dance as well as hoop diving and also throwing people through hoops and not just diving through them.

KM: As an experienced performer, does the audience react to elements of your performance that you expect them to?

RC: Definitely although regional Victorian audiences laugh at certain things whereas the audiences in Brazil will react to different things so it's great to create a show that is entertaining and you cannot predict how the audience will react.
CONTACT CIRCUS OZ
KM: Audiences have come to expect an entertaining and diverse show with Circus Oz so how do you ensure TWENTYSIXTEEN brings that with new elements?

RC: The show showcases what makes a Circus Oz is with pushing the elements with hoop diving, group juggling act, cool chair stacking act and a rope act among other elements.

KM: What is the most enjoyable part in performing in a show like TWENTYSIXTEEN?

RC: The ensemble parts of the show such as the group juggling act. It's satisfying when the group is in sync with other members and adjusting to the extra adrenaline when performing on stage in front of an audience. It's a really exciting show with lots of love in it and collaboration between everyone.
