magidA bit over a week ago I went to Circus Jerkus, at the Zero Arrow Theater, recently renamed Club Oberon (for the duration of The Donkey Show only, or longer? not sure). It felt like it was mostly stand-up comics and dancing (mostly belly-dancing), along with one magician and one aerial silks act, and that last was really the only one I liked more than a little (yay, Klingonlandlady and Frobzwiththingz!). The dancing was fine, and the comics ranged in their humor, while the magician's act was somewhat gross, but the aerial silks were just beautiful and impressive.
This weekend, I went to the Quicksilver Cabaret, at Spontaneous Celebrations (in JP), which had a much more impressive level of performance, including Dominique Immora on lyra; Di'Ahna bellydancing to a compilation that included some of "Pink Elephants on Parade" by The Circus Contraption Band; Morgan of Bella Curva balancing upside down and in other interesting poses; Bill Whitney on guitar as Ruth Brownwen danced pointe; Clara LaFrance on lyra (in a hat!); Jesi danced what seemed to me to be bellydancing style, but the program lists as "dynamic improvisational fusion dancing"; Ruth Bronwen and Lucy Warren-Whitman danced a duet; Eliza Blaze performed an impressive lyra piece; Roger" and Ellen did pairs acrobatics; three bellydancers from Vadalna Tribal Dance did an interesting dance; Morgan and Dominique Immora did a duet on thelyra which was impressive, and then Aerialchemy again closed out the night (and it was as wonderful the second time in two weeks, even). Oh, and JT was the MC.
It felt totally different, likely because it was more a family show. Not in PG-ness, but with the crowd being friends amongst themselves and with the performers. Much more informal in some ways, and much more professional in others.
