Fire Performance

...  a spectacular Fire Performance can be arranged specifically for your event!

Glutmax

For all its variety the human shape is a constant, its resonance of form repeated ad infinitum on the streets of the city and across the world. Any study of the purely aesthetic aspects of torso, limb and feature must eventually involve their separation, breakdown and placement in a different and maybe even slightly skewed setting. Today, the ideal, the abstract and the metaphorical are all open for exploration and here all three have been combined to culminate in a kinetic sculpture that rises straight up out of its setting, no pedestal required.
In other words: between 4 and 16 near naked performers writhe around inside a pink slime coated enormous cheesecloth bag, and the audience goes wild.

Silly Square Leg

Usually known as "Forward Short Leg", these cricketers, however are very long-legged indeed! Two stilt walking batsmen and a bowler are joined by a grounded but giant-gloved wicket keeper. 
A stilting umpire and fielders are add-on options. (Goes well with Aunt Fanny  supporters (see roving acts)).

Grave Era

Part installation, part performance art, "Grave Era" consists of six specially sculpted fake gravestones from Victorian New Zealand (purportedly remnants of a forgotten lost Cemetery).  They are curated by the slightly daft Dr. Otto Harpuka, Professor of Post Modern Archaeology, who tells the extraordinary stories of the deceased persons' life and death.  Although completely fictitious, the anecdotes are based on NZ social history.

Winner of the Dunedin Fringe Festival 2008 Outdoor Performance award. These photos are from the Hamilton "Ignition" Fringe Festival 2008.  For each show several local stories were incorporated, and the event generated considerable public interest and media coverage.

Mediæval Fair

We have a Town Crier, a Jester, a Hunchback and several stilt walkers in medieval costumes.
