Will be holding some performance workshop day's next year. Depending on demand we will either do just one in Birmingham or one in the south & one up north but these days are dependent on numbers as they are not a sponsored event & there will be a small charge of £20 to attend the day with a minumum of 10 people at each day.
Danny Schlesinger http://www.circoridiculoso.co.uk/ who I personally rate very highly will be running the days & I'll be there to pick up a few tips as well.

Datails about this day are;

The Idiot Inside - and letting them out, for Balloon Artists
 
Danny Schlesinger will be teaching his workshop on The Idiot Inside and letting them out. He has taught this workshop for corporate clients, teachers, performers and balloon artists. It is an interactive, physical and participatory experience that will benefit both newcomers to performing and the more experienced who wish to learn something new and usable.

Danny will be looking at four main areas;
Comfort & Confidence
Play
Being Ridiculous

How to apply this to balloon modelling? How do you perform and balloon model?

The day will be a series of games, exercises and fun.

A thank you letter from the party held in Birmingham in November where Danny was a mystery instructor.

"I would like to thank you for your help at the last balloon day. Your "exercise" has left a profound mark. Before it I felt I had lost most of my confidence, well I thought I had. Now I have realised I can work on the why's and fix them. So once again thank you from the bottom of my heart - you have inspired me to make changes that were probably a long time coming and will help a lot in the future. "

We are looking to hold the first workshop in March, comments & thoughts about this are welcome

Graham Lee

Put me down as interested for either North or Midlands.

I'd really welcome a day with Danny.

Cheers

Peter

If your planning on Videoing the session I would be interested in buying a copy. If Danny would like I would sponsor him for a USA tour too!

Danny don't get excited ... I'll pay for a workshop fee, a lecture and hotel for the Tampa Bay Magic Club and recommend you to other clubs in Florida. Airfare and travel is up to you!!

Count me in please - if the short version was anything to go by, a full day will be more than worthwhile.

Thanks again Danny

Sharon

I would love to take part even though my wife thinks the idiot in me isn't buried very deeply  

Hi, is any one staying over the night before? and if so where? Mind you i have to book for the day yet.  8-)

Hoping to get round to booking before the price goes up

Think I'll just head over on the morning as only an hour from MCR, hopefully stay for the meal though.... off to practice my hat design

M.

Danny & I will be staying over but as yet not booked a hotel

And just to make it clear - Graham and I will be staying in separate rooms!!  

Of course.  Although after a few beers?    8-)

Graham, wot hotel are you guys going to stay at.  I think i will have to come down the night before as it will take a 4 hour journey to get to leeds from me.

This could end up messy !!! hehehe, Balloons and Beer.    8-)

Hi, is the £20 including free balloons again graham? Also when does the price double?

Hope you had a good time in blackpool, me and adie have still got hangover LOL

Jordan

The cost includes a whole day with me :lol:  and 2 hours of tuition from probably the best balloon mime act in the UK.
The cost a mere £20 or you can pay £30 on the day, but no free balloons

"probably the best balloon mime act in the UK"

Thanks Graham  :oops:

I am presuming there will be time for balloon jamming with balloons of the Sempertex variety provided? Is that correct?
