I only counted 5 fire clubs there
be more Japanese
We are very pleased to announce some of our acts confirmed for SL10. We
have tried to source acts across Europe to come and share their skills
with the UK community.
Firstly, our juggler this year is the amazing Fran�ois Bouille. Anyone
lucky enough to see him perform at last years EJC will be very pleased to
see him on the field and he has also never performed in the UK. Here's
what Luke Burrage had to say about his EJC show
�But the highlight for most people (myself included) was the act by
Fran�ois. He did �experimental� juggling with three planks of wood and
three white clubs. Just as the act began to lull, one of his plank
sculptures wouldn�t stand up on its own. To remedy this situation, he
invited a small boy up on stage with him to hold the planks in place.
Pablo, as was the boy�s name, completely stole the show, continually
experimenting with the balance and placement of the planks himself,
distracting the audience from Fran�ois� juggling. At one point Fran�ois
did a really cool trick, just as Pablo got the planks to balance, and the
two halves of the audience both cheered at the same time. Another time (or
maybe the same time, I can�t remember) Pablo did something so funny Pola
spat her beer down my back. Quite disgusting, yes, but also quite
memorable �
Next, our headline fire show...
We are very pleased to confirm that Thomas Nevisoul will be returning with
his group �Loooop�
Those of you that saw Thomas last year will know how mind blowing his
performances are and we are very pleased to welcome his group to Southern
Lights who will also be performing in the UK for the first time. Here is a
link to his latest video to get you in the mood.

There will be much more in the way of street shows and we are pleased to
announce Rob Roy Collins who will not only be performing his show but will
also be giving a seminar as a street performer.
Plus the infamous Two Man Tent Show return with a brand new show for 2010.
Expect exciting circus tricks, suspense, witty banter and surreal humour.
And lastly in this long list of currently confirmed artists is our local
favourite Okey Dokey The Dragon. Very much a street performer who works
on two levels loved by kids and adults alike.
