FOCUSfish Flying Circus presents: GUSH-E.D.

The FOCUSfish Flying Circus presents GUSH-E.D.
For the third year in a row, FOCUSfish Flying Circus will bring its evolutionary new circus under the stars to the John Ford Amphitheatre’s summer season. This year’s production, GUSH-E.D:The Extra Dimension, tells a story of love for the planet, personal redemption and triumph over fear as artists juggle, contort, hoop, hang and fire-breathe their way along a magical journey. Under the direction of Michelle Hurd, GUSH-E.D. promises extraordinary delights with some of the country’s top circus performers, including Australian ballet and aerial tissu artist Rachel Bowman, breakout aerial duo Cohdi Harrell and Laura Stokes from New Mexico, the Colorado-based rock band Storytyme, the singular clown Mr. Robb from New York, and, of course, the crowd-pleasing Two Men with Three Balls.

In response to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans-native and FOCUSfish founder Kristy Beauvais and her husband Paul Beauvais decided to stage a performance extravaganza that would bring kids and families together with professional artists in a community building celebration to create a magical work of flying, clowning, and dance. With enthusiastic community response and raves in the Los Angeles Times, last year’s production, GUSH, tackled the problem of environmental distress; this year’s sequel expands on that theme with an “extra dimension” of hope and healing.
