HAMILTON SUPERCRAWL 2012! - September 15th, 2012
We are very excited to have been asked to be a part of this year's Supercrawl in Hamilton Ontario. The event is a two day long music and arts festival like no other and this year Circus Orange will be participating in a big way. We will be staging a specially designed version of our Pyro Mobile at the intersection of York and James St. North. This is a new show for us and incorporates aerial performance and pyrotechnics, all staged from an industrial crane. The best part about this particular event is that the whole thing is free! Come on down and have a look. Check the Supercrawl web site for details on our show, the festival lineup and show times. Hope to see you there!
Show time: September 15th, 8:15pm.

TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FEST - CINEMA TOWER ILLUMINATION!- September 7th, 2012
When you hear the name Circus Orange most people think human performance mixed with pyrotechnics and special effects or some high-octane combination thereof. Well, this projec twas a little bit different... On September 7th we painted the Cinema Tower condominiums with a dazzling light show and special effects. The idea was to create a spectacle out of a building and draw attention to an exciting new piece of Toronto architecture. This spectacle was witnessed all over downtown Torontoduring the TIFF festival.
THE OPENING NIGHT AT THE EX! (CANADIAN NATIONAL EXHIBITION) - August 17th, 2012
Circus Orange recently had the honour of creating a custom high-elevation pyrotechnic show for the opening night of the EX in Toronto. This show was an extra special event for us as we were given special permission to fire our pyro off the historic Toronto landmark, the Princes' Gates. Now we love pyro and we especially love it when we get to fire pyro off of an interesting piece of architecture as it just adds so much to the show. Add to that the fact that the Princes' Gates are an historic landmark and this made for one truly awesome show! We had great weather, a fantastic turn out and the show went off perfectly. Now, to just convince our friends at The EX to do it every year...

ONTARIO SUMMER GAMES - August 16th, 2012
The Ontario Summer Games was another huge success for us this past season. The event producers had asked us to stage one of our adrenaline filled duo trampoline shows. The timing was perfect as this event took place just after Rosannagh MacLennan won gold for Canada at the London Olympics. The crowd went nuts for the show, and it was a great day all around.

ROGER'S CUP 2012 - August 12th, 2012
The Roger's Cup is another event that we are proud to be a part of every year. This year we created one of our high-elevation "punctuation mark" pyro shows. Though a mere thirty seconds in duration we fired as many effects as we often would in a five-minute show. The effect is truly overpowering and left the audience with images that will be seared in their mind for years to come. As an added bonus we created a huge streamer cannon effect that covered the court in brilliant paper streamers for the announcement of the mens overall winner.
This is a fun new thing that we have started recently. When we are doing one of our big shows OR one of our strange and unusual projects we shoot some video and put together these short video blogs. It is a way of showing you what goes on behind the scenes and is a lot of fun to do. To see these videos as they are created follow us on Facebook or Twitter. Enjoy!
