I am going to create a Facebook discussion group for this soon but for now
If you are coming to any of the Fringe shows in August please reply below if you
want to get involved with the brigade this time round.

For the Evelyn Evelyn shows I think perhaps we should unite as traveling sideshow characters
keen to capture the twins. This gives a lot of choice for costumes/acts as freak-shows/sideshows
have everything from circus performers (stilt-walkers/fire-breathers/magicians/ringmasters)
to strange looking characters (eg Snake-lady, Wolf-boy, Fish-girl you get the idea)

We could interact with the queue with our acts while revealing a plot to capture the twins for the show.

ps I am not saying you must do this but it might be nice to unite under one theme.
Who is with me?

hopefully this year this idea will actually happen (I seem to remember both dreaming of this years ago)

Shame you can't make it up this year but maybe you can make it happen for the Southern fans?

The Angel Raliel · « **Reply #3 on:** July 26, 2011, 11:40:05 AM »

Indeed....will try my damnedest to make it so!

Right me haearties.

I am in possession of some professional latex face applications for costuming.
I have two that arch the brow/eyebrow area and one full face one which i intend to use.
These are very lightweight and I can apply them to any brigaders wanting to join the sideshow

get in touch

you just want to coat people in goo....

JohnnyDBBUK · « **Reply #7 on:** July 28, 2011, 06:21:36 AM »

nah, just the edges with spirit gum and makeup.
maybe some latex

I have the following so far

Ringmaster/swordswallower
Harp playing fishgirl

Would love to get a classic strongman, snakelady (even with fake one

), juggler, fireswallower, someone willing to stiltwalk (can provide stilts). Bearded lady, creepy fortune telling gypsy. tattooed lady. Magician/split gender person.

you have been all of these at one time!

JohnnyDBBUK · « **Reply #9 on:** July 28, 2011, 06:03:04 PM »

we can do it at all the shows if you like

JohnnyDBBUK · « **Reply #10 on:** July 29, 2011, 08:05:43 AM »

Come down and join the circus
It's easy to do
You could marry the strong man
But I think the knifethrower's got his eye on you

crying forever.

going to weather this contract to make it look old and parchment-like
and tie them up in red ribbon. See which E.E fans want to join the Circus and sell their soul to Punk Cabaret.

lentower · « **Reply #13 on:** August 15, 2011, 03:32:50 PM »

will you have blood red ink available?

JohnnyDBBUK · « **Reply #14 on:** August 15, 2011, 06:24:41 PM »

Yes I have red and black.
I have 30 contracts treated to look ancient and my hands stink of coffee

Looking forward to the weekend (and maybe claiming the Neville sisters souls

)

JohnnyDBBUK · « **Reply #16 on:** August 16, 2011, 02:50:57 AM »

The Angel Raliel · « **Reply #17 on:** August 16, 2011, 05:47:51 AM »

awesome stuff Johnny! (tea works just as well and is less smelly though)

The Angel Raliel · « **Reply #18 on:** August 17, 2011, 06:05:46 AM »

oh true it is like painting with dying mice

JohnnyDBBUK · « **Reply #19 on:** August 17, 2011, 06:20:22 AM »

hands now smell like hands again.

Ok...
So this will be my first AFP gig as part of the brigade, and unfortunately I can only make 1 of the shows, the one on the 25th. But following the idea of a circus side show I am thinking about being a fortune teller with a mask and handing out tarot cards and proclaiming small disasters. Good idea?

indeed..but try not to confuse too many images.....if being a fortune teller then really dress fortune-tellererery.....(oh you know whaty I mean) ....are you hand drawing the cards or printing them out? Have loads of fun...wish i was up there with you lot...but will be at the Southern shows

You're right, unless I can find a very fortune-teller-ish mask I will do without. I was going to print them out, I can actually read them, but I gather there wouldn't be time haha, I suppose I could do the odd palm in passing though...

The Angel Raliel · « **Reply #23 on:** August 17, 2011, 10:39:44 AM »

oh indeed....and the mask thing is not a bad idea.....maybe something mirrormaskish?

JohnnyDBBUK · « **Reply #24 on:** August 17, 2011, 11:09:31 AM »

25th Edinburgh show? cool Ill be there too

Robin is right look the part - few wear masks - however I know how much masks liberate a performer so
if you need any prosthetics come see me before friday in my work and I will give you some : )
Also if you plan to do tarot cards you may find some afp inspired cards on the 'tarot card' thread (we were planning to make an AFP tarot set for her merch shop)
