So here we're standing on the performance area that looks right out across the ocean.
And the first thing we have to make sure is that the ground is absolutely level because we can't have a wobbly rig.
It's a self-standing rig.
It doesn't need to be pinned down, but the ground has to be level.
So first we get our giant rig.
Spirit levels out.
We make sure that everything is level.
And then we use small planks like chucks to make it, if it isn't, to alter the heights.
It takes nine people to raise a rig.
So we build it flat and then we lever it up with human power.
We're an all-female company.
All women lift the rig.
Sometimes what we find, it's very funny, we might see a man or two sort of scurrying across the road, say, we'll come and help, we'll come and help you.
And they think they're going to be, they see all these women and they think, oh, we're going to be very useful to them.
What they don't realise is circus women are the strongest women in.
the world.
We're Circus 250 and our circus company is based on Ackle Island.
So we're often performing outside there too.
Obvious challenges, the wind, the rain, but obvious advantages, which is the beauty of it.
Yes, I did.
