Schmick As

- SCHMICK AS PRESENTS -

at The Street Theatre, October 18-28, 2006

A full length circus performance with a strong flavour of the 1930’s, with elements of the culture, the films and the fashions all mixed in with an hour of physical performance and live music.

Feedback for Schmick As Presents:

"Schmick As is a bit of a find"

"It is fascinating to see a group of young people land so profitably on such rich material"

"A short show that is moving beyond straight circus skills"

                              - The Canberra Times, October 20, 2006

"The physical gags and slapstick were absolutely hilarious"

"one of the most clever scenes of the evening was the group juggling...a well timed, well conceived piece that really delivered"

"A great display of strength and precision"

We performed for the 2006 Oxfam Christmas fair. Schmick would like to extend a massive shout-out to Oxfam and the work they do.

When performing, Schmick As wears No Sweat brand shoes.

These are shoes made in a fully unionised factory in Indonesia, where workers get full health benefits, a decent living wage, and a retirement plan amongst other things. This shoe brand has no advertising budget, a saving they can pass on to employee wages. (Schmick As would like to declare that we support this shoe companie's ethics, and recieve no payment from the company. We have however, had 4 pairs donated to us for use in performances by the Oxfam shop, Civic, in a cross-promotional deal designed to advertise the shoes - we have also bought 6 pairs ourselves.)
