Happy Valentine's Day, folk!
Valentine's Day can be a low time of year for some people, but imagine being a clown looking for love. With all the coulrophobia out there, it must be tough out there for a lonely hearted clown.
The good news is, there is hope! And by hope, I mean clown dating sites. Yup, apparently that's a thing. So much so, that there is more than one.
Everyone loves a clown. Why not let a clown love you?

Soleil and the Macy's Parade
Happy Thanksgiving to my readers in the US today! Word on the street is that Cirque du Soleil has a float in the Macy's parade this year. From the photos I've seen so far, it's an inexplicable mix of pirates and one of the trio trapeze girls from Varekai...
I've got to say, based on the pictures alone, I'm not really feeling it. Cirque du Soleil and pirates? And is the Varekai lady supposed to be some kind of sea creature? Maybe it's because I know the character is from Varekai, but she doesn't really seem to fit in with everything else, does she?
But then, if we look at the design...
Of course, a DREAMSEEKER! Perhaps someone will finally be able to open my jar of rainbows!
Ugh...
Remember when Soleil used to be really innovative and inspired? I miss that.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Halloween!
Have you ever looked at a contortionist and wondered what their skeleton must look like when they're all bent out of shape like that?
Well wonder no more!
Happy Halloween!

Bring It, 2013
Hello everyone and...
The end of 2012 brought with it the end of my show and as such, the end of a pretty big chapter of my life. I really do intend to write about that day, but right now, it still feels a little too hard. It's amazing how something can become a part of you. It's even more amazing how you can want nothing more than to walk away from that thing, to get out, but then when you do, you wish you had it back.
But that was 2012 and 2013 is all about new beginnings and new adventures! In less than a week I leave for Switzerland where I will be creating a new show, in a new style, with new people. Crazy! I am excited and terrified.
Come on, 2013, let's make this a good year!

Photo Shoot!
Hello all!
Remember how I said I'd be able to start posting again soon? Well, about that...
I'm on a break for the next little while, but as is my custom, breaks are synonymous with adventure! And as of this evening, I'm off! I'll be going to Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Finland. Then back home to Montreal, but only for two weeks as I have a month long adventure in South America (with a wee bit of work) to keep me occupied.
But before any of that happens, I'm going to Nantes for a photo shoot! Its been almost a year since I started doing trapeze and it's high time I get some promotional material together. Especially since I've started applying for work with trapeze but with very little professional material (*coughcoughnonecoughcough*) to show.
The shoot will last two days and the photographer and I have planned on two locations: an old abandoned slaughterhouse, and a big ol' oak tree. Having done a shoot with this photographer before, I'm sure there will some other on a whim locations thrown in as well.
I admit, I'm a little nervous about doing photos outdoors on an apparatus that still feels new to me, but if Rhianna can do it, then so can I!

The key is to wear as little clothing as possible.

Upcoming Lull
Hey folks,
Kicking Sawdust will be be taking a bit of a break over the next few weeks as I will be off adventuring! If all goes well, I will be in seven countries in the next two weeks. As you can see, I won't have too much time for blogging!
I probably should have written more in Toulouse, but it was depressing as hell there and I just couldn't bring myself to do it. But there are some pretty exciting possibilities on the horizon for me, so hopefully I'll have a chance to write about them when I get back to Montreal later in April.
In the meantime, there are a few light posts scheduled to tide over the circus diehards among you.
A plus!

Take it away, Fingers!

A Call For Christmas
Christmas is just around the corner and as a Canadian, it doesn't feel like Christmas to me unless everything is covered in a blanket of white.
Well, my friend S has the right idea and has decided to play a game of chicken with the circus gods in order to get Christmas done right.
Circus artists of the world, let us all unite with this as our battle cry!
"No snow, no show."
And if you don't want any snow where you are, feel free to send it my way and everybody wins.
Merry Christmas!
