Half an hour of O footage!! Catch it before Cirque snatches it down! Here you can see a few of the critiques I've mentioned lately, namely the shortened cadre act (and what I think is a pretty choppy new arrangement of Ephra, and when did Philemon stop being part of this act?) and missed opportunities for innovation (those blank white sheet backdrops, Cirque, I'm begging you...). We also see a technical difficulty with the big lift towards the end of cerceaux! I wonder if this is the same performance or if they've just been struggling with it recently. Interesting to see them work through it on the fly.
On the other hand we get to hear stunning work as ever from Marjana Sobol (Debbie! Svecounia!!!!), the haunting transition to contortion, and Le Vieux stumping around the stage, which is always a treat. And ahhhh that finale <333 Some interesting new choreography for cerceaux too... maybe they're training a new teammate? The intro was promising but overall it looked weaker than usual.
Thoughts?

Marvel Batfam AU Brainrot
May Reilly is Batwoman. Her parents were shot and killed in an alleyway, etc (basically Bruce's origin story).
She adopts a young Peter Parker after his parents, who are circus performers, die during a sabotaged trapeze act. And he becomes Robin around 14.
Peter starts dating Batgirl, aka Gwendolyne Stacy, daughter of Commissioner George Stacy. They eventually break up due to Peter's overprotectiveness.
When Peter's 16, he forms the Titans with Starfire (Mar'i Jan Watson), Raven (Harry Osborn), Wonder Girl (Betty Brant), Cyborg (Randy Robertson), Kid Flash (...Johnny Storm. Did you think I was going to say Flash Thompson? haha psych no...), and Aqualad (Flash Thompson!).
Eventually, Peter leaves Reilly Manor, officially becoming Nightwing, and gets into a relationship with Mar'i.
May is out one day, when she sees a kid stealing her tires. The kid's name is Kaine Warren, and he's practically grown up in Crime Alley. So of course, May takes him home, and Kaine is only too happy to change his last name to Parker.
Gwen, still operating as Batgirl, is thrown from the George Washington Bridge by the Jackal. May saves her with her with a grappling line, but her spine is permanently broken.
Of course, it only gets worse Kaine is lured to a warehouse by his father, Miles Warren, who is revealed to be the villainous Jackal. (Cue Death in the Family.)
So May is not doing great. She and Gwen aren't really talking, she and Peter DEFINITELY aren't talking, and May is getting more violent on the streets of Gotham.
So of course, little Ben Fitzpatrick, who's been following his heroes since he was a kid, soldiers his way into Peter and May's hearts, tells them they're idiots, and becomes the newest Robin, to Peter's great excitement and May's displeasure (she comes around eventually). Ben's parents are pretty much absent asshats, so he's pretty happy about changing his last name to Reilly.
And then, someone calling themselves Red Hood shows up, and Kaine's grave is empty.
Part 2 on the way!

Uncovered: 'Far From Saints' by Far From Saints
The Best Art Vinyl 2023 winners have been announced and we send huge congratulations to our top three winners. We however, never stop our interest in ‘Uncovering’ the stories behind the amazing shortlisted album artworks. We were thus delighted to catch up with US artist, Sara Shepherd Edgar to find out more about her painting that was used for the cover of the debut, eponymous album from the collaborative band Far From Saints - made up of Kelly Jones of Stereophonics with Austin’s Patty Lynn and Dwight Baker of The Wind and The Wave.
Tumblr media
The Far From Saints album cover artwork came from a series of Sara Shepherd Edgar’s works with narratives around the circus.
Sara told us, “I was using circus imagery to speak about everyday life struggles and experiences. Many people have positive connections and memories with the circus, having visited it as a child or experienced it with family and friends. I like to use those connections with the imagery to draw in the viewer. It’s a way of gaining the viewer's attention, maybe tricking them into looking closer at the subject matter assumed to be one thing. Still, alternatively, the underlying message is layered, including instances of life's bitterness or intensity. I intend to depict occurrences of the human condition in all its beauty and poignancy.”
Tumblr media
'Houseboat' 48” x 48”, acrylic on canvas by Sara Shepherd Edgar
A clear example of this creative direction, is in Sara’s many pieces involving a circus elephant as the focus. She explains, “At first glance, the colours, subject and narrative of 'Camouflage #3' are joyful, but ponder for a moment further, look a little deeper, and realize that it is an elephant trying to blend into the circus tent, who doesn't want to be there, who doesn't belong in the circus. I love this piece because it is the essence of my overarching theme.”
Tumblr media
'Camouflage' #3”, 36” x 36”, acrylic on canvas by Sara Shepherd Edgar 
Another piece in the artist’s circus series, is a pair of acrobats on a trapeze. Sara tells us, "The painting directs the viewer to recollect the childhood joy of watching such a show, the excitement, the courage of the performers. Upon closer inspection of 'White Flags', the acrobat being held seems to give up in her partner's arms, surrendering to her fate." 
Tumblr media
'White Flags' 12” x 16”, acrylic on canvas by Sara Shepherd Edgar
The album cover artwork came from a painting titled 'A Safe Place'. Again, a pair of acrobats fly over an audience in a circus tent. Patty Lynn and the band reached out to Sara to ask about using the piece for their Far From Saints debut album.
Sara says, “I was looking to the viewer to see the wonderment and bravery of the performance, as well as recognize the vulnerability of their predicament and then connect that with personal experiences. I value depicting audiences in my work."
Tumblr media
Close-up of the audience imagery on the Far From Saints album cover by Sara Shepherd Edgar
She continues, "I like to use audience imagery, and recently simplified that idea to just eyes in other works, to suggest that we are all being watched, whether it be by family, colleagues, friends, or the anonymous public.”
Tumblr media
Reluctant Princess, 12” x 12”, mixed media on panel by Sara Shepherd Edgar
Tumblr media
Cozette with Bunny Ears, 12” x 12”, acrylic on panel by Sara Shepherd Edgar
Sara's circus themed work not only features on the Far From Saints album cover, but was also beautifully animated for the band's video for their second track Take It Through the Night off the album.
youtube
Sara is a Utah, USA-based mixed media artist. After graduating from the University of Washington in 1994 with a fine arts degree in metalsmithing, she went on to show her small-scale jewellery sculpture in the Seattle, WA area. Transitioning to starting a family, having a metalsmithing studio and raising young children became challenging, so looking for an alternative artistic outlet, Sara experimented with painting and mixed media, which is still her medium of choice today. Sara is currently represented by Gallery Mar in Park City, Utah.
Tumblr media
Sara Shepherd Edgar
Sara told us, “My intent with the work is to provoke thought through familiar narratives to create a connection. It was so satisfying for the band to recognize that in the piece and then want it to represent them in their creative endeavour. It fulfils the purpose of the piece and my work and the personal fulfilment of making art I enjoy so much.”
Tumblr media
Far From Saints by Far From Saints on Ignition Records was shortlisted for Best Art Vinyl 2023. Cover artwork by Sara Shepherd Edgar. Design by Richard Welland at R-W Studio.

the woman is the king, part 8

read on ao3
@today-in-fic
----
No more than two days in a motel is their first self-imposed rule to protect their identities. After 36 hours at the Leisure Inn, she spreads a map across the bedspread. 
Already clocking hundreds of miles trapezing across the Southwest, Scully is tired of the long stretches of desert. Mulder sits behind her, tracing his finger from their current location near Salt Lake City, and up toward the state of Washington. He stops a few inches short of Seattle. 
“That’s a little populated, don’t you think?”
When running from the law, an ideal location boasts less than five thousand people. Scully once found the unforthcoming communities of a small town infuriating. She now takes the silence of the populous as an advantage. 
“It wouldn’t be Seattle proper,” Mulder amends.��“I have a contact in the area with a cabin. I’ve stayed there before.” 
An interconnected community of like-minded people, as Mulder would explain, have fed him information for years. He categorizes his contacts as creditable allies. Scully wonders where these people source their information to gain their expertise and resources. She heeds their abilities with caution. 
He attractively describes not-Seattle-proper by recounting his memories of a lake view, an impressively restored stone fireplace, and unequivocable privacy. It only takes an hour to map their route and pack their gear into the SUV. 
--
Mulder still isn’t over the unfairness of the reality of running from the law. After so many endless months of longing for her, he and Scully can finally be together, and he can list a thousand things he would run from just to be with her forever, but sometimes he dwells on what they should have. 
He reunited with Scully two months ago and neither of them have fully broached the events of the last year. It’s way too soon to wreck the elation he feels by confessing thoughts his mind hasn’t even fully accepted yet. Mulder can only attest to confronting the loneliness that almost killed them both in unspoken actions. Someday, maybe, he might be brave enough to chip away at the new hardness he sees she carries. 
He drives with one hand while clawing his face with the other. He’s never grown more than a five day beard. His face constantly itches. Scully attempts to convince him it looks rugged, like Sean Connery or Burt Reynolds, and it’s the biggest fucking lie she’s ever told him. It’s a patchy mess; an undeniably horrible disguise. 
Scully’s change in appearance is courtesy of drugstore boxed dye, a collection of large framed sunglasses, and as they criss-cross the southwest, the shortest of shorts. It’s a sight he’s grateful to witness.
Her nose buried in a crossword puzzle book, Mulder gets her attention with a gentle squeeze to her bare inner thigh. It’s starting to get dark after nearly four hundred miles of I-84 and probably best to stop for the night. 
“Any motels coming up?” 
Reaching under the seat, Scully pulls out a guidebook from the last gas station. She flips through the pages, cross referencing the map. 
“If you can last another hour, there’s a three star that sounds decent.”
“I can last as long as you want, baby,” he jokes. It earns him a giggle and a whack on the bicep with the book. 
They continue on. Scully watches the scenery through the window, having spent most of the ride focused on her puzzles, and they haven’t really talked all that much. He reaches for her now unoccupied hand to briefly bring her wrist to his lips. The next major junction leads them toward Portland. 
“My brother lives near here,” she casually comments with her eyes still focused on the passing highway.
“You didn’t tell me Bill was restationed.”
“Not Bill,” she corrects him. “Charlie.”
--
She still hums with uneasiness; even while asleep atop the floral duvet in their room at the Snooze Lodge Motel. It is unlikely worth its three star rating but wholly average for budget accommodations. 
Her pounding heart rouses her from sleep. No warm hand pulls her in tighter; no drowsy murmur of comfort brushes her ear. Scully panics. 
Usually, she finds Mulder writing at the desk only a few steps away, or in the bathroom, and has her nerves easily calmed. He is nowhere in the room. She assures herself she would have heard sirens or an altercation. It is still possible he is gone completely; he would go willingly to protect her. 
When Scully steps out into the surprisingly warm night air, her eyes land on movement in the pool below. A splash rises before his head breaks through the surface of the water. She pockets their room key and takes the steps quickly.
She sits on the hard concrete, submerging her legs in the water. Illuminated by only the underwater incandescents, Mulder rests his chin on her knee. She watches his soft hazel eyes; his overgrown beard scratches her palm when he nuzzles into her hand. 
“I didn’t want to wake you,” he admits without prompting to her unexpressed worry. She nods on a deep breath. 
She observes his graceful strokes; not unlike the thousands of laps he swam during the first years of their partnership while she gazed on. He begins to tire and floats on his back. 
She can thwart her endless concern for his safety during their untroubled moments. Her brainpower can refocus. Her letters must have arrived by now. Bill is likely furious. Scully pictures her mother’s shaking hands and heavy heart. 
In final, unsteady words, on a desert highway barely a month ago, she requested, “Watch out for my mom,” as she embraced her superior. A duty Skinner will undoubtedly fulfill. 
For those she calls family, Scully cares fiercely. A singular sign along Oregon highway reminds her that ferocity came with age. When she should have stood up, she retreated. Her youthful rebellion rarely applied to anyone’s benefit but her own. 
Mulder’s thumb smooths the crease between her eyebrows. Barely above a whisper, he simply says, “Tell me.” 
“I could’ve done a better job protecting my family,” Scully responds. She is being vague; purposefully making it difficult for him to articulate a follow up question. 
“It’s hard to face something you’ve tried to stop thinking about,” he finally tries. 
A motel parking lot is prime territory for a patrolman. The Snooze Lodge is no exception. Headlights nearly blind her. “We should go,” she insists to Mulder. 
Mulder pulls himself from the water. Keeping a keen eye on the cruiser, and their hands tightly linked, they watch until it disappears down the road. 
--
In the rosy of hue of morning, Scully listens to running water and last night’s baseball scores on talk radio. When she closes her eyes, she can imagine Hegel Place.
He emerges showered; she admires his casual nudity as he searches for clothes amongst their small collection of possessions. 
Reacquainting themselves physically fills the spaces between sleeping and a life on the lam. She considers neglecting their schedule to entice him into a second shower. 
“Mulder,” she murmurs lowly. 
However, when one of them wants to rebel, the other swoops in with rationality. “Oh, good, you’re awake,” he responds with eagerness. “We should hit the road soon.”
Her clothes for the day land at her feet. Mulder practically buzzes with high energy around the small room. “Mulder,” she finally repeats. When their eyes meet, she raises her eyebrow. 
Mulder rounds the bed to kneel at her side; no other hints are necessary. His lips meet hers in a deeply sweet morning kiss. 
Within the hour, Scully stares down another day of never-ending highway. 
--
He belongs to a truly skilled network of like-minded individuals; a group that aids each other in endeavors that fall outside mainstream channels and, arguably, in legal grey areas. While Scully sleeps, he receives the information he seeks in his covert, bi-weekly touch base and praises their group’s efficiency, and in due time, Mulder will repay the favor with his own expertise. 
Scully teases him with small bites from fast food breakfast sandwiches during the stop-and-go morning rush hour. She brushes crumbs off his face while he attempts to nip at her fingers. “You cleaned up your beard,” she remarks, tracing her fingertips along the even line of his jaw. 
“I hate this stupid thing,” he laments. His nails dig into his opposite cheek. Scully tries to soothe him with a series of I knows and Maybe once your hair gets longers but she doesn’t exactly sound hopeful. 
When they finally break through the barricade of morning commuters, he can sneak longer glances at Scully. Making a bold inference that their exchange at the pool brought some peace to her, Mulder watches as her arm extends out the window; her fingers surfing the resistance of the breeze. She smoothly mouths along with songs on the radio. 
She carefully tracks their route; their map blanketing her lap as she refers back to it often. Her head snaps up from its reclined position on the headrest when he takes a different exit than their planned itinerary. 
He counters her unspoken question with a playful smile. 
"Let’s embrace the adventure, shall we?”
--
His supposedly adventurous detour could not be more non-descript to Scully. Only a faded cross above the main entrance gives her any indication of their whereabouts. Mulder rarely goes out of his way to bring her closer to God. 
“I’m confused,” she finally admits. 
A pair of men materialize from a side door, pushing a cart of boxes that overfills the back of a tiny blue sedan. Vivid auburn hair catches her eye. Scully’s head snaps to the reckless lunatic in the driver’s seat. 
“He’s the pastor here,” Mulder confirms. 
The rigidity of theological devotion spawned an explosive splintering of their family; a life of faith seemed like the last thing Charlie would do. She wonders briefly if anyone knew about her brother’s career path. 
What appears to be a discussion of official church business ends with a brief kiss between the two men. A breathy “oh” from her partner divulges a carefully guarded excommunication nearly fifteen years prior. 
“Yeah,” she replies as her brother drives away.
Her father denounced her youngest sibling with an unforgettable, undoubtably cruel sternness. The Scullys would never all be in the same room again. 
She believes that final gathering illustrates the pull between motherhood and matrimony. A balancing act Scully has now walked herself. 
She and Mulder so actively, so knowingly disagree on many things, while following one another unquestionably. An inconceivable notion to her parents; to love each other and differ in values. Charlie suffered for it. 
A mother’s child is forever changed by acts of finality. She wonders if her final act will be forgiven. 
Mulder opens his door in a burst of sudden movement. Scully grips his arm, curling her fingers into his bicep. She is constantly ascertaining his every intention. He should be narrating his every move to her. 
“We’re going in,” he states. His tone suggests that should be obvious. She shakes her head in refusal when he outstretches his hand to her. 
Quick fabrications of an identity is one of their vitally important, well practiced skills. “My wife and I are new to the area,” she hears him explain, describing her as a former Catholic, and how funny, so is the pastor. As they continue to converse, Scully notices the prominent accent of her brother’s partner, and Mulder offers to carry boxes to the dumpster to extend the conversation. 
“He definitely thought I was homeless,” he claims when he finally returns. “And my wife is just a face drawn on a paper bag.” 
“Don’t count out that possibility,” she deadpans. 
Mulder actively ignores her comment, although she catches his amused smirk. A bright piece of orange paper enters her hands. He bounces tigerish eyes between the paper and her eyes. She begins to scan the words. 
Charlie relates a Psalm to the crushing and ever-evolving weight of loss from his sister’s murder. Scully takes a long moment to register her new lifestyle has completely altered her sense of time; another year without Melissa was not so much as a passing thought. She wants to cry. 
Scully remembers those words on her answering machine. Melissa was safe with people she knew in California. She briefly believed her sister was pregnant with Emily during those months. Melissa vanished to reconnect with their brother. 
“What was his name?”
“Alejandro.”
She slowly pieces together a theory aloud, as she has done with Mulder a thousand times before. “My sister used to write to me about a translator that traveled with her in Peru. I think that’s him.”
“You think she introduced them?” 
Scully nods; it seems like she should have something else to say. Or be more inclined to wait for her brother to return. She could comment on Melissa’s fearlessness to reject their parents’ prejudices and introduce Charlie to a life-altering love, exactly like she encouraged Scully’s own transformative love, but to say anything else would be a rightful admission of the cowardly self-centeredness of her youth. 
Instead, she only mumbles, “We should keep driving.” 
--
This seemingly cozy cabin was once a prison of complete seclusion and crippling loneliness for Mulder. A reminder he combats by scooping up his girl to carry her across the threshold. He plans to show the proper respect and erase every forlorn memory by absolutely defiling this place with her. With an appropriate amount of romance. Of course.
Her nose crinkles at him and she teasingly admonishes him with, “You are so gross,” as she begins to explore their temporary abode. 
“I’ve already picked where we’re gonna make out later,” he informs her with an added tap on the ass. Mulder retreats from her playful scowl, hands raised in surrender, to retrieve their belongings from the car. 
Mulder turns and slides a labyrinth of locks with duffle bags at his feet. It's the reality of this most picturesque hiding spot. A long string of numbers activates a powerful security system. He’ll probably tell Scully about the pack of wild turkeys that roam the backyard before he shows her the closet with feeds from outdoor cameras. 
While Scully reclines against a throw pillow with her eyes closed, Mulder assesses their food situation. His homelessness theory feels confirmed by the extra food pantry box that seemed to magically appear for him at the church. He’s still thankful, because it will be a few days before they can explore the nearby town, and the contents of the box is enough to get them through. 
Unpacking the final item, Mulder grins, and casually offers her a snack. She mumbles an affirmative response. It only requires a slice with a knife and a transfer to a plate but he enjoys burying the lead by slamming cupboards, running the sink, and starting the microwave. 
He presents the plate of white cake with strawberries and whip cream frosting, coming down to a kneel at her side, as he announces, “Dana-cake for my Dana-girl,” and smacks a loud kiss on her cheek. 
Mulder watches Scully hold the plate in both hands; her reaction starts with the sound of a whimper, and within seconds, she has broken into full sobs. 
--
Utterly unclear as to what he did wrong, listening to Scully sob for ten minutes seems like an eternity. Her favorite dessert is one of her simplest, most decadent of pleasures; a tearful breakdown was not a reaction he could have ever predicted. He only prepared to lose a finger or two trying to steal a bite. 
“Water,” he finally blurts out. “I’ll get you some water. Do you want some water, Scully?” With her unexplainable distress, Mulder reaches the point of useless panic to comfort her. He starts to stand, only to be pulled down by the hem of his shirt. 
“Where did you get this?” 
“In the food pantry box from the church,” Mulder answers in a rush; his shirt is still clutched in her fingers. “I thought you would be excited. It looks homemade.” 
With the plate held right between their noses to give him a micro view of the dessert, Scully’s voice shakes when she says, “They’re hearts.”
Mulder still has an oral history of Scully’s fondest memories from when she was sick with her cancer tucked away in the back of his mind. It seemed important for someone to have a mental record of the little things. She never told him she needed him to remember. But Dana-cake was a Scully family tale worth remembering with every detail. 
It was her childhood obsession; a summertime constant no matter where military life took them. Her mother grew the strawberries at home, hence why it required such extreme patience, and became so associated with the third Scully child that it was renamed for her. 
When Scully’s health reached a decline, Mulder made his first and only attempt at baking in his life from a handwritten index card. Scully stressed the dire importance of the heart shaped cut as she stepped in before he “ruined it.” Even the ones no one would see had to be hearts.
Because the love had to be on the outside and the inside. 
--
Her chest aches from heaving sobs; Scully senses the endlessness of running away. She has been given so many second chances at living and what she reclaimed threatens to fade away.
“What if we’re doing this forever, Mulder?”
Her throat stings. She should have accepted his offer for water. 
--
“Scully,” Mulder whispers quietly. A few snaps near her ear earns him no response. Her deep sleep emboldens him to pull the cord from the phone until he’s in the bedroom with the door shut. He dials and lets it ring. 
“Hello?”
“Mrs. Scully,” he says. “Hi.”

burt lancaster was actually cool as hell and no one talks about it enough and i don’t know why (or maybe i do, but i still don’t think its very fair). here are some things that he did that were genuinely great:
he employed his best friend nick cravat for all of his life, making him his ‘personal trainer,’ just so he’d always have money, and he’d even paid for the man’s children to go to college.  
during the civil right movement in 1963, burt lancaster was at the march on washington and he even made a speech, which you can watch here. this was one of the only times burt lancaster was public about his activism but it wasn’t the only time he’d helped, or the last time. burt preferred not to be vocal about his charity because he didn’t think he needed to be, which i think speaks highly of his character. burt also flew in from france to do this and then back again because he was filming a movie. he was apparently very scared of flying 
one of the only times burt did go public again with his activism was during the aids crisis. he did this, not because he wanted to be liked or noted for his activism, but because he thought the public might shift their opinions if they saw him support the cause. in fact, this was rather dangerous for burt, because over the years there’d been talk of him being bisexual. burt also was the one who delivered rock hudson’s last words at the commitment to life fundraiser. he was the only major male celebrity there and this was very big, for at the time there were a scarce about of people who would do something like this. this was at the height of the stigma around aids.
on top of his activism, burt also made a lot of movies that spoke about issues he was passionate about. one in particular was called ‘birdman of alcatraz’ which was about a man named robert stroud. stroud, during his time in prison, had done great scientific work when it came to the tending and care of birds (work that improved how other people did such things), and burt worked hard to try and get the man out of prison. when asked why he was working on the film he said, “the answer is plain. you cannot know about robert stroud without growing indignant at a prison bureaucracy which refuses to free a man long since cured of criminal impulses, as his record testifies.”
burt lancaster and his wife, norma, ended up splitting but never during her life did he remarry out of respect for her and her religious belief that because they had married, they were wed forever. norma struggled heavily with alcohol during their marriage and many reported that burt never, ever made her feel as though she was an embarrassment because of her addiction. 
he was just cool as fuck and if you at all interested in watching his films i recommend: the swimmer; sweet smell of success; come back, little sheba; brute force; local hero; judgement at numerberg; and trapeze

3 Trends in Live Entertainment for Weddings and Parties
Throwing unforgettable parties or dream weddings involves seamlessly blending venue décor, cuisine, invitations and entertainment. However, live performances make/break celebrations forever, etching moments into guests’ memories. Hence, party planners obsessively hunt ongoing entertainment trends, bringing uniqueness through wedding and party Bands, artists, dances, and more.
Rather than booking outdated singers, this blog covers 3 rising live entertainment trends spotted in 2023 celebrations programmed by leading agencies like https://www.lorioross.com/. Read on for sparkling ideas on sprucing up upcoming inaugural events, weddings or corporate bashes through these developments!
1. Specialty Cocktail Performers
Make cocktail hour at weddings or parties extra special with roaming entertainers that get people talking and having fun. Think about having elegant harp players, living statues that give guests a playful scare, or ice sculptors making art with chainsaws right before your eyes!
Tumblr media
These Specialty Entertainment turn ordinary welcome drinks into unforgettable experiences that set the tone for the rest of the celebration. Or go for something bold like aerial yoga performers, stilt-walking ballet dancers, or a dramatic champagne sabering show. These surprises during cocktail time are perfect for sparking conversations and making a great first impression on your guests.
Regional Theme Performances
For a party with an ethnic theme, choose entertainment that truly reflects the culture you're celebrating. Instead of the usual Bollywood numbers, why not showcase classical Indian dances like Kathakali or traditional Hindustani music for a Diwali event? For a touch of Middle Eastern flair at wedding receptions, consider having dervish dancers or tanoura performers in colorful, spinning gowns. And for corporate events, a jazz pianist can bring back the elegance of the 1920s or African drum bands can showcase the continent's rhythmic talents through agencies in Washington. Make sure the performances you pick really bring out the cultural vibe you want for your party.
Tumblr media
3. Novel Venue Performance Spaces
Switch up the usual Live Entertainment by using cool spots around your event space to wow your guests. For events by the water, think about adding twinkling fountains with lights for a dreamy vibe. Picture performers on silk ropes above your dinner tables or trapeze artists wowing everyone right in the middle of it all.
In ballrooms, you could have musicians on moving stages all around the room, playing beautiful music. You might even see mimes walking around or robot-like statues mingling with the crowd, giving everyone a fun surprise. Finding these unique spots for performances can turn your event into an amazing, one-of-a-kind show.
Conclusion
Over many years, the world of live entertainment for wedding and parties has become more dynamic and diverse than ever before. Whether you are planning a wedding, a corporate event, or a private party, remember to use these emerging entertainment options to take the event to a whole new level.
And, if you are in search of celebrity guidance and access to the best entertainment, Lorio Ross Entertainment will definitely be your go-to place. They have many options in their Live Entertainment, wedding and party bands, Casino Party Services, and Specialty Acts, so they can guide you in the latest trends and find the appropriate entertainment for your special event.

The Greatest Showman (2017)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Review:
The story of P.T. Barnum, a real showman who organised shows which feature the abnormal throughout the 1800s, is told in the star studded musical, The Greatest Showman. With the cast of Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron and Zendaya the film was almost guaranteed to be a smash hit. Personally, I am not one who favours musicals (unless it is Lars von Trier’s Dancer in the Dark) but, objectively The Greatest Showman boasts a soundtrack of memorable songs along beautifully choreographed dance numbers and trapeze acts. The positivity of the film and its overall message that there is strength in community positions it in a manner which is emphatic on the concept on embracing diversity and that there is place of safety for people of any shape, size or colour.
Problematique?:
The Greatest Showman being a fictionalised account of history is of course allowed to take some creative liberty in the telling of the story but, it becomes problematic when the plot begins to idolise a real person and industry which were, in reality, increasingly exploitative. The real Barnum, a bankrupt shopkeeper, initially made his ascent to fame and fortune after he purchased an 80-year-old Black woman to display as an oddity under the guise of a “160-year-old ‘mammy’” (Washington 2017). Barnum publicly wrote about how he took advantage of the woman’s addiction to alcohol and extracted her teeth while she was under the influence to give more validity to the farce of her age (Washington 2017). His exploitation of Black people as a sideshow abnormality to make money extended into his enslavement of Ella Williams as his ‘African Giantess’ and conjoined twins as a medical oddity (Washington 2017). The glamourisation of a history that erases any horror committed against Black people in the way that The Greatest Showman does is an intense act of denial with undertones of white supremacy.
