So I seem to have been posting quite a lot about this Liverpool on the Waterfront that was on last weekend, so here is a post dedicated to it, then hopefully that will be it!
There have been two of these weekends this year - the earlier one was mid-July and involved a lot of pirate ships and fireworks. The later one was the weekend just gone, and was dedicated to dance, with events starting on Friday evening running through to Sunday afternoon. I'm lucky enough to live very close to the Pier Head where the event was running, so I was there every day!
The main event on Friday and Saturday was a performance by the Voala Project. They are an Argentinian group which performs a show which is mainly based in the air - it is amazing. A group of 8 dancers perform partly on a stage, and partly suspended in the air from a crane. Sounds mad, and I suppose it is, but you couldn't help but be very very impressed. They must have been so strong, they were doing serious acrobatics, in mid air, for a show last 45 minutes.
Anyway, I don't think words quite convey the awsomeness, so here are a couple of pictures to demonstate...
As well as the Voala project, there were loads of other different dancers and shows, as well as street performances and theatre from Walk the Plank. One of my favourites was Gandini Juggling's performance of Sweet Life...
And also Ziya Azazi, who did this amazing Whirling Dirvish show.
