The
Circus Arts are fast becoming a much sought after element in
entertaining corporate guests. Music Theatre
Australia has an established connection
with the highly skilled and talented artists that are currently
presenting circus acts in this country. Aerial acts, acrobats, hand
balancing solos, duos and trios, exquisite jugglers, knock-about
routines, physical comedy and fully produced shows are just some of the
styles of acts that can be offered through MTA.
From
traditional forms to contemporary twists the circus arts are constantly
surprising us with their skilful adaptations and interpretations of acts
that have been around for hundreds of years.
With
their particular ‘Aussie’ humour and eccentric take on the world, and
their impeccably professional outlook and discipline, these artists
offer an exhilarating opportunity for an unforgettable entertainment
experience.

In ancient times
when the Goddesses ruled the world, mankind would worship them and
follow their every move. The power of the Goddess was obvious
to all.
But as time moved on, man forgot to look towards the strength and
energy of these powerful women. Now, in the 21st century, the
Goddesses have returned to us. Now they sing in powerful voices that
tell us of love, celebration, excitement and fun.
They are The
Goddesses of Rock, a tribute to the powerful women of rock.
Now, it’s your turn to experience... The Rock Goddess Show.
The smooth elegance of the 50/60’s girl groups, harmonized, choreographed and
beautifully costumed. The country cowgirl Superstar of the 70’s to
90’s. Could we leave out the extravagance of ABBA, or the coolness of a Latin
disco pop star!

MTA welcomes Bob Burton...
Bob has joined MTA as
an Entertainment and Event Consultant bringing to the organisation his
specialist knowledge of circus and physical theatre, as well as being
able to produce and manage special events.
Q: ‘Bob, what
is your background?’
A: I began as a
street performer, spending five years in Europe performing, studying and
travelling. After returning to Australia I set up a small performing
company playing in schools and at festivals until I took up the position
of program coordinator at the Melbourne Fringe Festival for two years.
In 1991 I founded the agency Primate Productions, specialising in
representing circus and street theatre artists. Over the next eight
years this business grew and flourished providing acts around Australia
and the world. My finest hour was taking the Flying Fruit Fly Circus to
New York on Broadway in 1999.
Q: ‘Now that
you are at MTA, what are you developing that is new for the market?’
A: Acts being
developed by artists in Australia are amongst the most innovative in the
world. They are taking influence from many different areas and
transforming well-honed skills into completely new realms. I am thrilled
at being able to work with artists on the development and marketing of
these acts as it keeps my creative mind active, as well as creating many
opportunities for the next generation of performing artists.
We like to offer the
most professional entertainment service to meet our clients’ needs, as
well as collaborating closely with artists to ensure they reach their
own stringent and demanding levels of excellence.
