Cal Performances thanks the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, The Wallace Foundation, and the Zellerbach Family Foundation for their generous support. CAL PERFORMANCES 5 ABOUT THE PROGRAM also influenced the acrobatic performing arts. For instance, the Lion Dance is Buddhist in origin. The lion was seen as the reincarnation of a woman, and was often teased into revealing her true identity. This dance was a symbol of spiritual renewal and also revered for dispelling bad luck. Originally, court entertainments involving acrobatics were formal and monotonous— quite the opposite of the lively, folk arts of the people. Eventually, however, the excitement of the acrobat’s amazing feats caught and held the attention of the ruling class, and acrobatic performers were routinely invited to the court to entertain and impress visiting dignitaries. -

EDITORIAL We would like to thank all of the people who have contributed to the pages of The K.iteflier during 1992 - some regularly. The more people who contribute to these pages the better they will become. If you have something you think would interest other kitefliers send it to us - we are always looking for articles, news, tips etc. You will find the Kite Trade Directory in this issue of The Kiteflier. We had intended to also print the Group Directory but the magazine would have been even larger (this one is the largest we have ever produced - do not expect them all to be this size!). The Group Directory will appear in the April issue. Both directories will form the basis of a new information booklet that The Kite Society is producing prior to the season starting. -
Plate Spinning, a Stilt-Walking Circus Ringmaster, Punch and Judy Shows, and a Drumming Band Will Come Together to Hit All the Right Notes in Rhyl
Plate spinning, a stilt-walking circus ringmaster, Punch and Judy shows, and a drumming band will come together to hit all the right notes in Rhyl. The high street will have a circus-themed makeover for the latest free offering from Rhyl Town Council. The one-day Circus Saturday event sets the scene for an exciting summer line-up which includes two music festivals and the ever-popular air show. Rhyl Mayor Cllr Ellie Chard said: “The town council already supports the larger events such as the air show and the soul music festival which attract visitors from far and wide. “On top of that, we put on smaller community activities, primarily for the people who live in Rhyl. These events provide a day of free activities and experiences, some of which are new to the town. Circus Saturday is no different,” she said. Cllr Chard said there was a line-up of activities planned which visitors could try for themselves. She added: “Circus Saturday has something for everyone. We have traditional Punch & Judy shows, music from the fantastic Bloco Sŵn drumming band, crazy mirrors, a magician, balloon modelling, hoola hooping, and face painting. We even have a giant parrot puppet and caricaturist who can sketch visitors. More/… -2- “But we want people to be able to have a go at activities themselves which is why we have a giant game of kerplunk and circus skills workshops. It’s all designed to bring a little fun to the town and make people smile.” Circus Saturday, which will be held on Saturday July 13 between 11am-4pm, will be followed by events at the town’s arena including the Summer Soul music extravaganza on August 18 which fea- tures Jimmy James & The Vagabonds, The Edwin Starr Band ‘The Team’ featuring Angelo Starr, Pre- cious Wilson, Midnight Soul Supremes and guest DJs. -
