May's Top Picks

-

Music
Courtney Barnett is releasing her second album ‘Tell Me How You Really Feel’ on the 18th May under Milk!, Mom + Pop, Marathon Artists. This is the album we’re most excited about this month, Barnett



Film
Obviously, the film we’re excited for this month is Star Wars: A Solo Story. The film is being released on the 25th of this month. The greatest Science Fiction tale is expending to give us a back story on one of it’s most beloved characters, who isn’t excited for that? We can’t wait for some mocking Han humour. Though admittedly, I’m sure like many other people, we are quite nervous to see someone other than Harrison Ford fill the boots (or should we say the waist jacket?) that are Han Solo. Let’s just hope Alden Ehrenreich has done a good job!



Restaurant
As The Lady Boys of Bangkok are heading to Brighton soon, we figured that it would be a good idea to pick a restaurant this month that is based in Brighton. 64 Degrees has our mouths watering as we searched Instagram and looked at all their amazing looking dishes.



‘BUT, FOOD-WISE, IT’S THE MOST EXCITING THING TO HIT BRIGHTON FOR YEARS. ACTUALLY, MAYBE EVER.’ -Marino O’Loughlin, The Guardian

Recipes
Matcha seems to be all the range at the moment, so we thought we would find a fancy desert recipe that you can impress your friends with! We came across this Matcha Mouse cake and it looks mouth watering whilst also looking pretty enough to stun your dinner party guests!

Travel
I may be biased as I recently went for a couple of days. But my travel recommendation this month is Paris, I completely fell in love and did not have enough time to do much whilst I was there. But if I take another trip anywhere this year I will definitely be returning to this city. Everywhere you look is exquisitely beautiful! Here are a few of my photos of Parisian streets to inspire you!

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

-
Image
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

Strong Women in Circus

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 .
