It is important that jimmy knows what slava is wearing as this builds up the images in his head - it is like a very baggy baby grow
and large red shoes
the colours do not matter
The other clowns wear very large hats
and very long pointy shoes
At 1 point during the show one of the clowns wears a Finn and pretends to be a shark so i have incorporated that in the prop to aid understanding
Pre show explinations
This covers parts of the show that jimmy may not understand fully so i go over them before the show so i know he has a better grasp of understanding - and that way we wont waste any time and miss vital parts of the show
As expected Jimmy did not know what a hatstand was
so i had to explain that and also why Slava puts his hand inside the coat sleeve, and that it looks like another person that he was cuddling.
this took several attempts before i think Jimmy understood
The Day
Waiting for the train
Breakfast stop off at Covent Garden

As our show Totem will soon be visiting London we would like to offer you tickets to attend the dress rehearsal to be held on January 4th, 2012 at 7:00 PM at the Royal Albert Hall.
For your information, tickets to Cirque du Soleil's dress rehearsals are set aside in each city for local charities to allow its clientele to attend a performance free of charge.
The main focus of the allotment of Social Action for the dress rehearsal is to distribute these tickets to organizations helping youth at risk, mainly street kids.
That is why we would appreciate it if you could use these tickets with the same vision. The tickets for the dress rehearsal are rare. If you ask for X tickets please ensure that all of them are going to be used the night of the event. There are so many requests for them and so few to give!
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kindest regards,
Jennifer Beeston
A huge thank you to everyone who made this day happen.
This was over a year in the making and was worth the wait.
