Update: The Moscow Grand Circus in Abu Dhabi

-
It has been non stop at Gandey World Class Productions headquarters recently. With preparation for next years Lady Boys of Bangkok show in full swing and the all new production of the Moscow Grand Circus about to begin, we're lucky if we get a moment to update the blog! Luckily we've managed to grab a few minutes this morning to give you a little bit of an insight though. The UK crew have now left to begin the set up in Abu Dhabi, whilst the Lady Boys tour is now in Newcastle Upon Tyne. The "Moscow Grand Circus" is set to take place at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre in association with ADNEC Live Events from Wednesday 25th until Sat 28th September 2013. Following the success of the Chinese State Circus in Abu Dhabi last year, Gandey World Class Productions have put together a stunning show for this event, featuring a full line up of non stop talent. There will be no 'fillers' within the production with each performing artiste as strong as the former. 



Artistes to perform as part of the Moscow Grand Circus in Abu Dhabi include:

Victoria Antipova - Aerial Rope
Anna Rastsova - Swinging Trapeze
Stoliarov Clowns Kara - Gymnastic Bars
Russian swing by Sergeii Dydyk
Russian Bar "Rome" by Svetlana Gvozdetskaya
Albert Arslanov - Knife juggling and "love Story"
Duo Charm - Aerial straps and Juggling on Unicycle
Fakhriddin Akhnazarov - Strongman

As you can see we have award winning acts, including a couple of Monte Carlo winners!

Abu Dhabi are in for an absolute spectacle!

A brief history of clowns to celebrate Andreea's birthday!

Hip hip hooray! It’s our crazy clown Andreea’s birthday! The lovable Andreea has been appearing in shows with Gandeys Circus for nearly a decade. Now Andreea is actually French – so perhaps we should say ‘bon anniversaire’! We’re proud to have Andreea as part of our current team in the big top at Butlin’s Skegness . While our other clowns – currently performing at Butlin’s Bognor Regis and Minehead – Bippo and Chico Rico are more traditional, Andreea opts to show off her sense of style with an offbeat modern look. We think her pink tutu / Converse / blazer combo is pretty iconic… especially paired with her blasting boombox! (she’s never been shy of making an entrance). Andreea likes interrupting the action with her silly routines. And you know something else… she is the UK’s only female clown! So you could say she’s a bit of an innovator when it comes to clowning around. With that in mind, let’s look at how much clowns have changed ov

Origins of the Chinese Circus

200 BC – 200 AD – Han Dynasty, Sichuan Province – Juggler with balls and knives – Carving, stone of the “Hundred Games.” [source: Chinese Acrobatics Through The Ages, p15] The origins of the Chinese circus are not entirely crystal clear. There are debates and differing opinions when it comes to the exact history behind the circus, which is not a surprise when you take into account how long it has been around! First records of the Chinese circus - including carvings and mural paintings - date back more than 2,000 years to the Warring States period (475–221 BC), with evidence of performances developing further during the Qin and Han Dynasties (221 BC - 230 AD). Although it is believed that the art may have actually started around 3,000 years ago! One theory is that the acts originated in imperial courts, with performers entertaining the houses in a manner similar to western court jesters. However, it is more likely that the circus was a folk art that was later adopted by

In honour of International Women's Day and the 'Women in Circus' movement, we would like to share these photos of strong women with whom we have worked - past and present. Women who inspire us here at Gandey World Class Productions , and who influence and empower other women across the world. There are many strong circus women who we have not mentioned here. Please be aware that this list is by no means definitive – there are so many more strong women whom we would have loved to include, and who remain an important part of the Gandey family. The pictures can also be found in a Flickr album here .
