A few days ago I watched a freakin' INCREDIBLE movie about extreme unicycling called 'Defect.' It was jaw-dropping the stuff these nuts were doing. I want to buy the movie for CFU from www.unicycle.uk.com/shop/shopdisplayproduct.asp?catalogid=800
Which leads me to want to start a list of DVDs (and books!) we can start acquiring for the group, an inspirational library of sorts, funded by FiCom. We can get up to $50 in books & DVDs a semester, and more if we ask in advance from COCA. Here're my top picks, everybody add your own!
*Defect (unicycling)
*Cirque Du Soleil:
A Baroque Odyssey (10 yr anniversay documentary)
Quidam
La Nouba
Varekai
Saltimbanco
Alegria
O!
Corteo
Ka
Dralion
Nouvelle Experience
The Fire Within (reality series of training for Varekai)
*Cirque Eloize
Nomade (their retired show, my favorite circus show ever)
*The Greatest Show On Earth (set at Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey at its height, shows the absolutely incredible size of their show & entire operation, with loads of film drama for good measure)
*Trapeze
*Freaks
*Jim Rose's Sideshow
*Universoul Circus
*Carnivale (the HBO series- we already have, donated by Joe!)
*Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, etc.
ooh, now i want to go do some serious research into more materials and how much they cost...
