I find it interesting that I’m bumping into a lot of Physicx articles lately, not that I have a problem with it. This latest one is quite a wonder. Physicx in the circus, say what?! Christchurch bboy, Leerok, rubbing shoulders with an international fave, what?! And now… I’m jealous. Lol.
Like mentioned in one of my previous entries, Physicx is currently in
Australia. He said he’d be judging and touring while doing workshops. I figured this low intensity stuff might be for his recovery. But I guess he missed to
mention joining the circus too. Wow. I would never ever have guessed that in
a million years. The idea seems a little off-key, but actually it’s not so bad
once explained.
Basically, it’s a show that revolutionizes the traditional
concepts of the circus – which is an idea I’m totally open to. When I’m watching
the circus I’m like, “how the hell they do that?!” Well, it’s a sentiment that
most people share not only with the circus but also towards what they don’t
completely understand. I know very well my breaking – but others don’t, in the same way I
don’t know much about BMX or roué cyr. There’s a lot of “how the hell they do
that?!” in this world, especially in the day to day streets that we sometimes fall
blind and deaf to – the urban street culture.
Here is a taste of the circus, featuring Physicx, Leerok and basketball freestyler, Rashaun Daniels:
Now I understand what Physicx meant by doing workshops. In
another article, they explained “the circus performers are teaching their tricks to
local youth in free workshops… it’s a rare opportunity to work with the best in
the world in each art form.” Now I'm a little more accepting of the idea. Good on him for giving back to the community and spreading the culture.
Leerok is a local New Zealand bboy from Common Ground, who
continues to inspire and wow me since the day I first learned of his existence.
Lol. I always wondered why he doesn’t participate on the international stage as
much as Acorn and Grub-D – he probably does but just not covered well, perhaps?
And to see him perform beside Physicx, it’s like wow – that’s quite cool man,
and at the same time, I’m like finally, some recognition for the dude.
It's going to be awesome with Leerok. When you have a kiwi in your team, you knowshi stuff is going down! Charismatic people, kiwis are.

Austria, Holland and Belgium.
