Footsbarn Traveling Theatre is still raising HECK!


Daniel Rovai, a Footsbarn alumnus, was "down under" for some R&R -- check out his movie Silent Sonata. (Slow Loader)

Inter-related company Buchinger's Boot Theatre is appearing at Glastonbury Festival 22nd to the 26th June. Glastonbury reportedly sold 150,000 tickets at €200 in four hours without announcing the line-up -- plus 35,000 people are working there. That's something in THIS economy!
My friend John Kilby will linger in England until July -- then on to the festival Villeneuve En Scène with BBT. They're developing an adult show called Petrology for next year.

Footsbarn/Great Salt Lake Mime Troupe Alumnus Gregg Moore has opened his musical vaults on the Internet:

Get your translating pages ready though -- the posts can be in Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, Italian, German or even English!

Movement Master Philippe Gaulier will be at Triángulo de Madrid September 19 through 23 2011.

Former LeCoq student Julie (Frida, Lion King) Taymor was released from her contract to direct Spider-Man, Hold Back The Dark -- it has been on Broadway for nearly a year without a formal opening, to the delight of joke-writers at the Tony Awards.

The EJA is a non-profit association for European jugglers. Its main goal is to promote juggling in Europe, especially by ensuring that, each year, a European Juggling Convention (EJC) takes place in a different European city or town. In 2011 the Convention will take place in Munich - Bavaria.

Pipa was also at the Street Performance World Championship in Portlaoise, Ireland, held during early June.
