Balancing
Act
This unique and elegant balancing act features a woman deftly balancing a bottle on her forehead, but that’s not all.
On top of the wine bottle she precariously stacks four tiers of wine glasses;
there’s still more.
Atop the last glass, a fragile egg is delicately placed
on a small platform. From nowhere a magic cane appears and tak!
She taps the platform from under the egg making it fall into the last glass.
For the audience it is a breath taking moment!
This act can be performed as
a solo or as a duo act
(in the picture with
Mooky Cornish).
Length: 5-7 mins
Non verbal
This obscure and curious creature appears mysteriously
and artfully.
With martial agility she confidently prowls around, except, when her troublesome tail falls off.
