The First Ever, International, Random Music Circus Competition In 2005, we performed at an event where we had to do our acts to whatever music happened to be playing at the time. To practice for it, we brought random pieces of music to the gym, and challenging each other to perform to the piece
It turned out to be fun, and quite challenging, so in 2006, we hosted the FEIRMCC.
~The Rules~
Acts could not be created for the competition , it had to be your regular act
Solo acts were given a piece of music between 3 1/2 and 5 minutes long.
Acts with more than one performer were given music close to their regular time
The talented David Aiken prepared a choice of six songs for each act. Each act rolled
a six sided die, and were told the name of the song, and the length.
And then they were told "Go"
It was a huge sucess. Both the crowd and the performers had a great time. The event was very well attended by the Vancouver Circus Community, and we were honoured by the presence of circus performers coming up from Seattle. It was the first event that had ever been open to the entire circus community in Vancouver, and we hope to make it a (randomly) annual affair.
~The Judges~
Some of the wonderful artists, from Seattle, Vancouver, and Toronto Who joined us for the day.
