The FOCUSfish Flying Circus

FOCUSfish and the Ford Amphitheatre 2008 Summer Season Present:
“GUSH-E.D.”
The FOCUSfish Flying Circus
August 8 & 9, 2008 at 8:00 p.m.
At the Ford Amphitheatre
Last year, FOCUSfish brought GUSH to the Ford Summer Season, and so did Mother Nature. Now, as a result of that historic Environmental Deluge, the Focusfish Flying Circus brings their evolutionary new show, GUSH-E.D., to the Ford. This re-tooled world premier adds to the original GUSH an Extra Dimension, with new acts and a new story structure. The Epic Decision to mount this show again, combined with the Eclectic Dynamics of the new cast, ensures that this evening will be an Entertaining Diversion.
Exciting Dancers,and Exotic Delights explore destiny as they juggle, contort, breathe fire, hang and hoop their way through this tale of triumph. Under the direction of acclaimed actress and voiceover star, Michelle Hurd, many of last year’s cast and some new faces light the stage with fantastic feats of athletic circus sport.
FOCUSfish is known for its classes in circus sports that welcome all ages and levels into its magical world of fitness, where being fit doesn’t have to mean being a slave to the gym. FOCUSfish thrives in a community environment of people ready to let themselves go and yell, “WHEE!” FOCUSfish is enjoying this year of expansion, as it educates and adds to its roster of locations. In GUSH-E.D., FOCUSfish brings its instructors and performing partners back to the stage… exhibiting their performance fitness culture.
This year’s line-up features: Eric Newton, Rachel Bowman, Two Men with Three Balls, Storytyme, Mr. Robb, Ricochet, XMA’s martial artists and many more!
GUSH-E.D. tells us a story of love… with the cast of Established Denizens of our very own community… diving into discovery, exploring the realm of possibilities, and conquering fear.
Don’t miss this year’s shows on August 8 & 9, 2008 at 8pm. Come early and enjoy a picnic near the fountain, some pre-show shopping, and entertaining antics for all ages.
