New skip-rope act in Cirque du soleil
Adding new tricks to the act is more than a hop, skip and jump
Recently, Cirque has been sporting a new roping skipping act featuring skippes
Yusuke Funaki and Shoichi Kasuo.
From time to time Cirque du Soleil adds new acts so that returning guests can
see something new.
Impetus for he new acts that begin in July, were inspired by a Cirque Show name
Quidam.
Funaki, who is an aerospace engineer, was thrilled about the new skipping act
which changed his priorities.
Many artists will be blended into the act including trapeze artists, areal
artists, and trampoliners.
As the curtain is raised, oriental artists descend from rafters above
outfitted in black-hooded costumes breaking into their individual routines.
This highly acclaimed choreography includes rope-spinning cowboy style,
rapid-fire skipping, double-Dutch, acrobatic stunts and other rope tricks.
Many logistical challenges confront these world-class artists as they make a
triagular shap with 3 ropes, 3 turners, 9 jumpers and skippers skipping
from rope to rope.
With so many props backstage, technicians need to know which ropes to select
from a variety of shapes and sizes.
In order to prepare the troop for this highly syncopated routine, a
professional skipper was dispatched from the Cirque headquarters in June.
Many of the cast members love to go beyond the normal routine and do something
new.

In the months to come, Hybrids like the Ford Escape SUV, Nissan
Leaf, Nissan Tesla, and Chevrolet Voit will be plugging up at charging stations
during vacation.
