We’re Off and Running, Part 7:
Saltimbanco, Part 2 (1993)A few weeks ago, as I was flipping through a few classic Cirque du Soleil programme books (as is my wont), I was happily caught off-guard by a brief history of the company that it had written about itself in Saltimbanco’s original European Tour programme, published sometime in 1996.

Cirque Du Soleil’s CRYSTAL Will Wow Audiences
Jerome Sordillon is an aerialist with "Crystal," Cirque du Soleil's new show on ice. He performs the acrobatic portion of the show, swinging dozens of feet above the ice, suspended only by a pair of wrist straps. At one point Sordillon lifts the main character off her skates and they soar through the air together. -
Ice dancer from St. Charles co-stars in CRYSTAL
Madeline Stammen's ice skating has taken her from St. Charles to cruise ships and now to a main role in Cirque du Soleil Crystal. The show is the Montreal-based theatrical producer's first to mix its fabled acrobatics and circus stylings with action on ice. -
Meet TORUK’s Peter Kismartoni
Peter Kismartoni didn't want to go to the gymnastics lesson the first time his parents took him along. He was just five years old, but with two sporty parents, a sister already enrolled and a younger brother not far behind, he soon found a passion for the sport that would set him up for the extraordinary life he lives now. -
Shivers Guaranteed at CRYSTAL?
Since Cirque du Soleil started 33 years ago in Montreal, you’d think its performers and creators had already explored every possible idea in their quest to reinvent circus arts. But one element hadn’t yet been incorporated into a Cirque show, forcing the artists to rethink costumes, training, sets and choreography: ice. -
Trinitonian: “Cirque dazzles with CRYSTAL”
Dancing, acrobatics, leaps through the air and more: “Crystal” is the latest production by renowned Canadian entertainment company Cirque du Soleil, and it’s different from any circus performance you’ve seen before. -

Controversy Surrounding the Tribute to The Colocs?
Cirque du Soleil acknowledges that it did not contact all the founding members of the band before choosing it for its 4th tribute show, but claims to have acted in good faith. Cirque also says it is "disappointed" and "saddened" that the announcement was received a bit coldly by Mike Sawatzky, one of the musicians and founding member of the band. -

Joey Arrigo – About the Demands of Performance
Joey Arrigo saw his first Cirque du Soleil show — on a VHS tape — when he was 5. It was “magic,” he thought, twirling in imitation around the family’s Newmarket home. Twenty years later, and countless gruelling hours of dance training, Arrigo is playing the central character Waz in the company’s production of Volta. He spoke with the Star about the physical and mental demands of doing up to 10 shows a week. -

REVIEW /// “VOLTA in Toronto!”
I saw VOLTA in Toronto on September 10th at 1:30pm; nice show! Not as bad as people are making it out to be. It's certainly not as good as some, but enjoyable more than others.
