FORT DU SOLEIL!

INTRODUCING....

FORT DU SOLEIL! 

Manic Stage Productions are so excited to share with you our latest new performance piece produced for our newest client 'Amazing Venues'! This fabulous contract starts with our debut theme on board which featured at the venues grand opening of 'No Man's Fort!'

 

Saturday 4th April saw 10 of Manic's talented team take to the seas for their opening night of 'Fort Du SOLEIL' on board No Man's.  The team consisting of stunning aerial acts, daring fire dancers, poi artists, dancers, singers and sky high stilt walkers!
With a whole host of entertainment packed into one luxury night the guests where in for a brilliant treat of professional bespoke entertainment and performances!

To welcome the guests on board they were greeted by champagne and our stunning stilt walkers. As they entered the beautiful glass roofed atrium they were wowed by the amazing space before heading off to explore the many special sights of this exclusive venue and what it had to offer!

In keeping with our take on 'Cirque Du SOLEIL' our team were dressed in silver and blue hand painted catsuits with huge silver pleated wings for that eye catching effect! You certainly couldn't miss them and set a great first impression for all the guests.

One the sun set we kicked of the show and our team performed the 1st themed medley featuring music, lights, smoke and of course our specialist skills!  Our dancers showed off their creative choreography and our aerialist were showcased throughout! Wowing the crowds the aerial hoop and silks were certainly the highlight receiving rapturous applause, the guests seemed to be blown away by the talent! It was a great way to begin the night and keep everyone excited for what was to come.

Next up the guests were seated for a delightful dinner where they heard our beautiful singer between courses. Her song choices really complimented the atmosphere and gave everyone a treat in between eating their delicious 4 course meal. She was joined by our dazzling dancers dressed top to toe in sequins adding some of our usual Manic sparkle.

We finished the evening with something quite spectacular! After dinner and before the guests danced the night away in the on board nightclub they eagerly awaited the much anticipated FIRE SHOW! 
Back in the atrium the scene was set with a layer of atmospheric smoke and views of the night sky through the glass ceiling our team took to the stage once more to give the guests a final show to remember!

Beginning with fire palms our medley started with 4 girls performing a routine with high flames and beautiful choreography. The songs and music where cleverly picked to add to the action and our medley started to progress as the team performed breathtaking fire stunts, including body burning and fire breathing!

The elegant wings featured once more with dancers breaking up the medley and hiding our fire dancer as she appeared with amazing fans to create yet another spectacular routine! 

Swinging fire around their heads, in the splits, over their bodies and into their mouths the spectators really couldn't believe their eyes. We finished with an incredible fire breathing act joined by all of the team on stage with hula hoop, poi, palms, sticks, wings and dancers which as you can imagine was a truly magnificent finale and a fantastic image for all of the guests to take away with them!! 

We had such an amazing time on board at No Man's and enjoyed the boat trip home ready and raring for our next two 'Fort Du SOLEIL' performances later this month!

Tickets are already selling fast and there are hundreds of guests ready to enjoy our next performances and we can't wait to be back on board to showcase what we have!

Manic April Member of the Month - Lucy

Manic Member of the Month

Every month we like to shout about one of our fabulous team members and this month we introduce you to .....

Lucy Penketh

Read on to hear what she has been up to as a professional performer and where it all began!

When did you start dancing?

I first started dancing at the age of 2 when I went along to a baby ballet class where my grandmother was an assistant teacher, I then moved on to learning tap, jazz singing and drama. I was very quickly bitten by the dancing bug, attending many classes a week to achieve my grades aswell as take part in local festivals and national competitions. Winning the British Arts Awards All Round Performer at their finals in London.

Where and when did you continue your training professionally?

After I had been to college and completed my A Levels I knew I wanted a career in the dance industry, I was accepted into Stella Mann College of Performing Arts, in which I completed a 3 year National Diploma Course in Professional Dance graduating in 2012. I was taught a lot of about the industry as well as furthering my dance training to the best it could be. Since then I have danced in a Cyprus, been in Bollywood Films, music videos and the MTV awards in India. Also a James Bond stunt show in Paris and Cruised Asia among many other destinations!

What are you currently doing?

I have recently been away with Costa Cruises, cruising Japan, Korea and China on the Costa Victoria. I have decided to have a summer at home after being away almost continuously since graduating in 2012. I am currently rehearsing with Manic Stage Productions and am very excited to be part of their 'Amazing Venues' Solent Forts team. Its so great to be performing constantly with the Manic Team, at various events and venues with such great local talent!

How long have you been part of Manic?

I started in 2013 with Manic and had my first gig within 2 weeks of joining! A scary but great experience! Since then in between contracts I have had the pleasure of doing a wide variety of gigs events and shows with the Manic team. From dancing with Sinitta to being a stilt walking leprechaun each event is well thought out rehearsed and delivered to a high professional standard, which I am extremely proud to be part of.

Do you have a Manic Highlight?

There have been many highlights with Manic! I look forward to class each week as everyone is so friendly and works really hard, but my main highlight would be the recent Fort du Soleil which we performed on No Man's Land Fort just last week. It was an incredible experience from start to finish, with the boat ride over to having a tour of the venue, then performing almost 3 seperate shows to enetertain the guests, with fire dancing, aerialists and some great singing! I cant wait to go back!!

What are your plans for the future?

I am always looking for new and exciting experiences and performance opportunities so who knows where my dance career will take me! I guess thats another reason I love it so much, as every week, month and year is so different!
