It's been quite a while. The fest was a blast and so long ago now. To read my blog post please go to;

Since then we've had a few really fun gigs. Newtown Fest, Oatley Fest and Ileana's Hafla are regulars for the end of the year. We love getting to perform impro. I'll post a few shots shortly. This year we did a wild Urban Qabila & friends fire show for Australia Day at Carrs Park. Barb (Sparklegirl), Fee (Tribalista) and Tim joined us. We brought out all our fire toys including fans, fingers, poi, lotus', hoops and wait for it....the Ball of Death. Tim flings this huge fire ball around on a metal chain metres and metres long. It's quite medieval looking and makes a great whooshing sound. The weather was wet and windy but that didn't stop us, so sireeeee. Last week we helped Marg out with the launge of Onyx Tribal. They're a new group located in the Castle Hill area. Check out their website;

In January we all had a chat about the direction of the troupe. We each have a lot on with work, study and family and it's been hard getting to rehearsals so we've decided to operate on a more part-time basis. This will give us the chance to work on our technique independently, follow other creative pursuits and come together here & there to practice our impro. At the moment Kim & Dayl are working in a Nia fusion trio called Sukida. They performed at The Chakras red carpet night and did a beauiful job so watch out for them. Dani and I have been working on some Flamenco fusion stuff together. We're performing at the next soiree and then Dani is off to Melbourne boohoo :o( We'll be dancing under the banner of 'Musa' which is 'muse' in Spanish and I'll continue to operate under that banner with my teaching.

Hope to see you at the next soiree.
