Page Blanche - Compagnie Luc Amoros (France)
An exhilarating mix of visual art, live music and theatre. On a large scaffolding structure, nine canvases are stretched out to form a giant blank page. Six painter/musicians use almost 300 kilos of paint to create, destroy and recreate extraordinary and surprising works of art which tell a powerful, political story.

Just Another Boyband? - Cirq’ulation Locale (Netherlands)
An energetic and cheeky juggling tribute to all the boybands we’ve known and loved. Take a bit of Blue, a touch of Westlife, sprinkle with a little Take That and add some juggling clubs and you’ve got the gist...

Festival TV - Richard Stamp & Kate Wright (UK/Australia)
Watch out for roving festival reporters Nina Fontano and Alain Bazzard as they scour Watch This Space searching for breaking news and exclusive interviews. These ever-so-smooth and utterly professional newscasters will be presenting their report on the sofas towards the end of the day.

Ding Dong , Yvonne Calling! - Kate Wright (Australia)
A juggling beautician offers make-up tips and beauty secrets, because she’s worth it.

The Gentleman Juggler - Mat Ricardo (UK)
Suave charm and an extraordinary trick with a tablecloth.

The Strong Lady - Betty Brawn (Australia)
An Aussie stunner born with the strength of her father and the elegance of her mother.

Une Femme Exposée - Abi Collins (UK)
The glamorous, acrobatic Katinka comes out of retirement and is looking for love.

Tallulah - Sharon Mahoney (Canada)
Tallulah is very sorry, but she does come from Canada.

Madame Galina (UK)
In her silver jubilee year, the Russian prima ballerina is still coming to terms with the modern world.

The Cabbage Catch Kid - Mike Wood (Canada)
The ultimate DIY stunt: cabbage, head, catch.

Miss Behave (UK)
The rubber-clad, sword-swallowing mistress of the bizarre.
