All good things come to an end….and this weekend, the thirtieth CiRCa Festival finished it’s 10 days of madness! 120 performances, 240 artists, probably in excess of 30,000 visitors – it was good.<\/p>\n

One of my last performances were an English group called ‘Pirates of the Carabina’<\/strong> with \u00ab\u00a0Flown\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

This was really very good – non-stop action, with a few slow bits (even so…) – the lamp in the picture above was hauled all over the place, with somebody hanging on for dear life!<\/p>\n

The last performance I saw was my friends from the ‘Compagnie du Poivre Rose’<\/strong> with \u00ab\u00a0M\u00e9moire(s)\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

I have already photographed this troupe during their residence here in Auch only a month ago, and so it was interesting for me to see the ‘finished product’ as it were.<\/p>\n

All in all I found the festival better than last year – by which I mean better photographically. This said, I am becoming increasingly frustrated in that with an audience it’s obviously impossible for me to be mobile and move around, so some angles are impossible to achieve.<\/p>\n

There’s a noticeable difference between the tension perceived (from the artists) when they are performing in front of an audience or just two or three people during a dress rehearsal. This tension can really influence the quality of the images – in that the artists push themselves that extra little bit when there is an audience present, and this often manifests itself in the images.<\/p>\n

I’m in two minds about continuing with my ‘coverage’ of the festival – I’m much more at ease when I have the liberty to move around while the artists are performing – and this shows in the images I produce. I’ve been doing this for 5 years now so I think I might have a pause next year – we’ll see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
