It’s been an amazing journey… thank you NoFit State Circus for bringing Parklife to Dorchester. We loved the way the finale show filled our extraordinary ancient amphitheatre.
“The whole town seems to be in Maumbury Rings tonight,” somebody said.
Was this the greatest show since the Romans ?
Over the course of a week, around 400 local people took part in workshops and taster sessions with the company’s trained performers and acrobats - of these 80 went on to join the 30 company members in the finale show.
From freerunners to belly dancers, from majorettes to a nine year old Taekwondo black belt, the show has been a process of learning, developing and sharing skills - followed by intensive rehearsals and a wonderful finale skilfully directed by Parklife’s artistic director Orit Azaz.
To all of you - thank you for bringing Parklife to our park.
Inside Out takes place from 31st August to September 9th 2012 with ten days of outdoor performances, which will transform Dorset’s rural, urban and coastal settings into a series of magical worlds. This blog is all about the performances and the artists. It's intended as both documentation and a response to the work on show.
