3 Steps Ahead – By Point And Flex Circus – Adelaide Fringe Review

Producers Warehouse, Wed Feb 11 Well what can I say about five balls, four hats, three chairs, two girls and one show? Don’t be the loser! Taylor Dawson and Marina Gellmann from Point And Flex Circus really are 3 Steps Ahead in this game. Together they have produced, directed and performed this show. Although they ‘lead’ the audience in our adventure, even they never really know what order things will turn out. That is where we the audience come in, anyone and everyone 6 to 60 who attended this evening’s performance, from the moment we entered the warehouse, are actively encouraged to participate in the next hours events. Between piercings, marshmallows, back flips and backwards ABCs these young ladies have us all engaged – and calling out, ‘changing’ the course of the evening. The shows props are low tech, nearby, organised and perfect for this performance, allowing me to see this show moving quite comfortably to any venue in the future. The skills previously learnt by Marina and Taylor, are performed and showcased well. Not only will you see acts of contortion, juggling, spinning and daring escape, you’ll also see skills bravely executed proving that this show is not for the faint hearted. I’ve seen things during this show that I have never seen before and I dare you to say the same once you’ve attended and enjoyed 3 Steps Ahead.
