TRAFALGAR SQUARE FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS
ACTS THAT STOOD OUT
So after going to every day of the festival, here are my highlight performances in no specific order:
So after going to every day of the festival, here are my highlight performances in no specific order:
- 'Saurus' by Close Act - one of the few acts that physically interacted with the audience in the square.
- 'Spheres' by Strange Fruit - had to get up-close to appreciate this one fully, beautiful performance.
- 'I Want to Live in a City Where' by Martin Firrell - engaging public art that left the audience leaving the square in a pensive mood.
- 'Road to Nowhere' by The Shout - very strong and powerful vocals that made, arguably a mundane topic, fascinating.
- 'Spell' by The Cathy Marston Project - a sum up of summer... elegant and modern dancing that never waned.
- 'Luved up!' by Upswing - an original performance of a love story combining hip-hop and aerial dance.
- 'Rope' by Company FZ - great skill, never knew there were so many ways to use a rope!
- 'K@osmos' by Grupo Puja - wow, a real crowd-pleaser that was brilliantly executed.
- 'Duo de Haut' by Catherine Leger and Ramon Kelvink - absolutely petrifying to watch, a thrilling finale to the festival.

Yes, a great variety. I remember Martin's work on the wall of the National Gallery. Nice idea.

It's been great the way you brought to life all these wonderful events for us - especially since i couldn't attend all of them. Somehow reading this blog has made it all appear so much more professional and significant as it was being reported on and it gave us a glimpse of some of the personalities involved through your interviews. It's made a difference compared to other public events that happen and are then just forgotten. Many thanks. I'll be keen to read more as it happens in TS.
