I examined his controls but it does no good. He makes them so uniquely I think only his hands can make them work. The important thing is they work for him. I did the same tour years ago with Richard Bradshaw and it was more of the same. Killer reviews and standing ovations. Again though it was worth touring along in his shadow just to study his work. He is brilliant! Not fun to be compared against though. ;o) The circuit is The International Festivals for Children. They have a showcase you apply to and there is the possibility of working in Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Scranton, Toronto, London Ontario, Winninpeg Saskatoon, Calagary and Vancouver and a few others. I got to do one in Singapore once which was very exciting. You are lucky to get one city but some performers are block booked for many. I did maybe three some seasons if I was lucky. You get to meet all types of performers from around the world. The funding has been way off lately and I haven't gotten any work from them in several years. I encourage others to google the topic and apply for the showcase. If you do get a slot to showcase, you get top perform your entire show which is awesome for a showcase. If you don't get a slot reaply consider applying next again, because it can take time to get a showcase slot. They are looking for "different " unusual work. You might as well contact the individual festivals as well. 2009/4/6 Mathieu René <creaturiste-AT-primus.ca>: > You lucky/unlucky dude! > > Lucky because you saw these creations up close countless times. > > And unblucky for the comparison you had to live with.
