stephbgWhat happens when western ballet tradition meets Olympic class gymnastics and Peking Opera training? This is impressive.
What I find particularly impressive is the presence of the safety officer in the latter half of the performance. That's big biccies for Chinese acrobats.

I was already calling impossible when she stood on his shoulder on point, and then he started promenading round the stage.
Balancing on his head on point with the other leg pointing straight up while she turned?
I'm somewhat lost for words.
1My brother took this photo a year or two back - I was already impressed with the assumed captured moment, then he told me that Ms Kaplan was happily just holding the pose until he said he was done..
