Vaudevisuals interview with Acrobuffos – Christina Gelsone and Seth Bloom

I have enjoyed watching Christina and Seth perform for many years. In fact, many of those times it was behind my camera documenting them either solo or together. I recently was so moved by their new show “Airplay” that I had to find out more about their work process and their lives. Here is my interview with Acrobuffos!

Click here for a lovely video from The New York Times about Acrobuffos!!

BELLOMANIA

For his 3rd year in a row success, Bello Noch presents his new production BelloMania.

Featuring Michael Karas, Dinny McGuire, Annaliese Nock, Shawn Roth

Show Host Dinny McGuire kept the show moving along with charm and finesse.

Bello starts the show off with a ‘big head’ balloon stunt.

He followed that will a lovely ‘chair production’ routine followed by this skillfully accomplished hand balancing act.

His daughterAnnaliese Nock did a beautiful split on the tightwire.

Bello proceeded to walk on the tightwire and not only sit but STAND (not pictured here)on the chair on the wire.

Michael Karas performed a skillful and creative juggling act with rings. balls and a puppet!

Annaliese performed many stunning aerial feats and with this beautiful projection, it looked heavenly.

The show had many wonderful moments. Bello talked to the audience about the pride he has for his circus family.

The audience had to look up when Bello began to climb ‘the sway pole’.

High above the audience on the sway pole with his hair touching the New Victory Theatre’s ceiling.

A real ‘comic daredevil’ for sure. Time Magazine calls him “America’s Best Clown”.

Curtain call for the cast of BelloMania at The New Victory Theatre. Great fun!

Vaudevisuals interview with BELLO – “BelloMania”

BelloMania!

“America’s Best Clown” in a brand new show of his own! With a crazy coif that defies gravity as much as his soaring stunts, Bello and his talented troupe tackle the most towering, terrifying and tough-to-do tricks with jokester genius. The former Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® big shot nails trampoline routines, bungee-style bouncing and handstands on a high wire, “all the while making audiences laugh with his brilliantly comic timing and gusto”

The New York Times

While interviewing Bello in his dressing room 30 minutes before he was scheduled to go on I heard the sound of a little dog whimper. I found out later that his dog ‘Miso’ is in the show too and was just jealous she wasn’t being included in the video interview.
