    balloon sculpture skit ideas?

    Can anyone suggest some balloon animal/structure skits? I'm looking for some audience participation in this part of my act, but given that I am an extreme newbie (see http://www.performers.net/cgi-bin/ul...c&f=6&t=000044 ), I am very low on ideas. I've tried contacting several performers, but have had no luck on shadowing them for inspiration.

    I won't plagarize, don't worry, I just want to get an idea of what I can do. I'm targeting my show towards ~8 year olds, if that helps

      Thanks, I was able to find a lot of stuff on that site! I knew of it before, but didn't find what I needed until now [img]smile.gif[/img]

      There were several references on the articles regarding an act/skit called "The Giant Tazmanian Man-eating Devil" act or sth like that by T. Myers. I can't find what it's actually about... Can someone explain?

      Thanks

        Julian,

        You can subscribe to the balloon twisting list at BalloonHQ and they can answer all of these questions. Tom Meyers is a regular on the board, along with thousands of other twisters around the world. I think you'll get better results from there.

        If you have general performing questions, then this is the place to ask. There are a good number of street performing legends that hang out around these parts and they seem very willing to share their knowledge. For the balloon specific stuff though, I'd head to Balloon HQ.
