На чем мы остановились ? / So, where we were? :)

Летние каникулы подходят к концу, силы восстановлены, самое время привести тела в тонус и приниматься за работу, ведь совсем скоро - уже в октябре! - наши финские друзья из цирка Школы искусств эстрады приедут с ответным визитом к нам в Гатчину, где мы и покажем наше совместное шоу Rajalla. Предлагаю вспомнить, как это было в апреле в Лаппеенранте! :)

Summer holidays are going to end (and already finished two weeks ago in Fimland), our powers restored, it's time to get our bodiesto tone and start to work, because very soon - already in October! - our finnish friends from Taidekoulu Estradi will come to Gatchina where we will perform our show "Rajalla". I offer you to remember how it was in April in Lappenranta :)

We can't wait to see you all!

Ella ja Aino reporttereina

Ella ja Aino tulivat eilen jonkkatunnille aivan turhaan sillä eräät nimeltä mainitsemattat pojat eivät saapuneet tunnille. No, jottei tunti olisi mennyt aivan hukkaan Ella ja Aino päättivät haastatella paria Estradilla haahuilevaa henkilöä muutamalla polttavalla kysymyksellä. 

Ella and Aino came juggling class for no reason because some nameless boys didn't show up. Well, so that the class wouldn't go waste they decided to interview few people who were wandering around.

Kysymykset:
1) Mikä on roolisi kevätnäytöksessä? What is your role in the Spring show?
2) Oletko nähnyt painajaisia kevätnäytöksestä? Have you had any nightmares about the Spring show?
3) Pelaatko Candy Crush Sagaa? Do you play Candy Crush Saga?
4) Tykkäätkö esiintymisasustasi? Do you like your costume?

Friday

Perjantaina 4.4. teimme ensimmäistä kertaa esityksen läpi numeroilla. Oli mielenkiinotista nähdä muiden numerot ja kuulla musiikit. Kokonaisuus on kuitenkin vielä aika sekava ja numeroissa on vielä hiomista. Työtä siis on vielä paljon.

We did a presentation for the first time through with music and tricks. It was interesting see from others numbers and listen to their music. We have a lot of to do because the presentation needs more practise.

Friday's practise every one tried their costumes.

Ring trapeze: Helmi

Tänään seurasin Helmin ilma-akrobatiaharjoituksia ja hänen numeron valmistumisa. Samalla kyselin Helmin miettetä esityksestä.

Today I was following Helmi's aerial acrobatics lesson. I also saw part of her ring trapeze number and after that, I interviewed her about the spring show.

Helmi teki kolme vuotta stten rengastrapetsinumeron duona Saanan kanssa. Viime vuonna hän teki ensimmäistä kertaa soolonumeron. Tänä vuonna hän tekee siis jo toisen kerran soolona.

Three years ago Helmi did ring trapeze number with Saana and last year she did alone. This year is her second time when she does solo number.

Do you like more solo or duo?

- I like doing duo more because then we can plan number together and that motivates me much more. Now when I do alone, I can change this act all the time and that's nice too. 

Have you enjoyed doing ring trapeze act this year? Is it ready yet?

- Yes I have liked it because the theme is good. It's always difficult to do trapeze number with  certain theme and this year it has been challenging to show the Indian theme.
