Dear Friends,
As we told you in our last update, there is more
exciting news coming in every day. First we would like to announce the
additional performers and show acts we were able to get for our Gala
Events. Again Ladies, thank you so much for your interest in our event and
for performing at our shows !
The GANBAATAR
SISTERS : Erdenesuvd and
Buyankhishig were both born in Ulaanbator/Mongolia. When Erdenesuvd
was a child, her father had the mind set for her to be a concert pianist.
From the age of 6 to 10 years old she would practice a little piano, a
little gymnastics and lots of contortion. She then attended Mongolian
States Circus for training under one of the greatest Mongolian
contortionists and teachers, Majigsuren, to perfect the art of
contortion.
By the age of 12 years she was performing all over
Mongolia, Japan and Europe. By the age of 14 she was already a professional
artist working in shows all over the world. The younger sister
Buyankhishig was always around watching her older sibling, never
realizing that she herself had an interest in the art of contortion. Until
one day Erdenesuvd watched her little sister secretly practicing contortion
at home doing the most difficult moves. On that very day the new show act
THE GANBAATAR SISTERS was born. |

Tiffany Knoblach is a multi-talented circus artist

intensive ballet and gymnastics.
After discovering her passion for contortion, Tiffany
pursued and gained entrance to the prestigious Ecole Nationale de Cirque
in Montreal where she trained as a DEC student under the tutelage of
Daniela Arendasova, a renowned Russian gymnastics coach.
During her career, Tiffany has made appearances in
artistic events including the SPCA Charity Gala in 2011 and numerous
nightclubs. Her distinguishing features include extraordinary flexibility,
distinctive choreography, and precision in strength and balance. |

this experience and her interest in Yoga and contortion, Tara

Last but not least we are publishing
below our latest update / SCHEDULES
(see below) with all the recent changes covering the 3 days of our
event. Some of you might get worried to miss out on some activities,
since we offer so many with some of them happening at the same time as
others. Don’t worry about that. We are still trying to hold a little extra
space for workshops and photo sessions etc… , so we can repeat some, if
there is additional demand.
We will publish the show/performer
schedule within the next few days. Be prepared for two great shows,
full of wonderful performers and acts !
That’s all for now. Please make sure you
study our schedules carefully. We need to know, what you are
interested in and which activities you would like to join.
It is vital for us
and for the organizational part of this event to get your feedback, because
we only have a certain amount of space and time to put everybody into the
right spot !
