Cirque Dreams: Holidaze... LIVE!

Now that it's been over a month since I've been over a month since going to Holidaze, I feel a bit late getting my review/ enjoyment post about it out. I wasn't planning on attending this amazing show, but after seeing a post at work where nine ladies were looking for a tenth for their ticket bundle. Trying to get out of my shell a bit more this year, I decided this would be a good opportunity to meet and greet some people I've been working with over the last few years.

Starting with a fantastic dinner at a nice restaurant, we carpooled over and got some snacks for the beginning of the show. Taking our assigned seats, and getting settled seconds before the lights went down, it started with some amazing gymnasts and two very talented aerial acrobatics (the ladies pictured below). Of course taking photos was not allowed in the theatre, mental notes are nonetheless amazing.

There were so many performers from all over the world. If ever given the opportunity. I highly suggest seeing any Cirque live show. Absolutely a work of art and masterfully constructed. The holiday theme was entirely enjoyable, and even involved a bit of audience participation.

Above are some jump roping reindeers; extremely impressive. And below, are some very amazing roller skating gravity showoffs =]

I will be making a point to seek these shows out in the future. Seeing feats of the human body in such ways is why I workout as often as I can, and am working on implementing it further into my daily life. FIVE out of FIVE. ;]

None of the photos/videos on this page are mine, of course, see below.

• Public places that are just grime covered and uncomfortable
• Feeling out of control in any given day to day situation
• Realizing 24 hours in a day is simply not enough
• Meetings one is forced to attend, but never needed to present
• Owning up and putting aside the things you love, for the things you have to get done
• The cold air that invades once you leave the protective bubble of sleep every morning
• Conversations that seem to take place in your personal space, but do not involve you in any way, shape or form
• The need to know what's going to happen next, but being denied that information until it actually happens
• When the best plot line you've read/seen/etc ends in the worst possible way
• Going to sleep every night wondering if something is going to actually happen tomorrow
