Wow!
Thank you so much to everyone who came to see our show “Speak Easy” this weekend! Saturday night was packed, a completely full house! We had a ball performing for you all.
We have put up a bunch of pictures taken by (our web designer, photographer) Kenneth Feldman over in the Visual Gallery. Check ‘em out!
Also, Lauren Wissot from Slant Magazine has posted a fabulous review of “Speak Easy” over on the Slant Magazine website.
We’ll have some more pictures coming real soon, and we’ll also have video from the show (shot by Milner Ayala) as soon as it’s ready.
Thanks again! We really appreciate the support,

Suspended Cirque Raises Almost $500 for The Salvation Army
The audiences at Suspended Cirque’s 12 Acts of Christmas contributed $496.99 to the Salvation Army bucket during the performances. We wrote and sent a check in that amount to the Salvation Army in the days after the show.
Thank you to everyone for their generosity!

Better Than Santa: The 12 Acts of Christmas
A great review of the 12 Acts of Christmas by Lauren Wissot is now online.
“Take a dash of burlesque, a scoop of modern dance mixed with classic ballet, plenty of candy cane-colored costumes, some sultry cabaret lighting, a rocking score stuffed with updated versions of holiday standards, sprinkle generously with vaudeville, then toss it all up in midair and you’ve got “The 12 Acts of Christmas” presented by Suspended Cirque, the sexiest troupe of aerial performers on the other side of the Hudson. I trekked through a blizzard to get to the warm intimate setting of the Galapagos Art Space in DUMBO for the only evening performance of their winter spectacular this year. (The weather outside was frightful but that dominatrix Santa sure was delightful!)”

The beauty of watching live performance lies in bearing witness to art unfolding right before your eyes. And “Urbanopolis,” Suspended Cirque’s latest site-specific, aerial creation at Galapagos Art Space in DUMBO delivers just that. The show is a low-budget indie Cirque du Soleil from its burlesque chick acrobats to its hula hoop skirts, to the shreds of newspaper dangling from a hoop descended from the ceiling, proving that heart and creativity trump dollars and glitz every time.
