What an absolutely delightful way for the little ones to be entertained!
Luth Wolff is a charming, very likeable and extremely talented circus performer and her first ever Adelaide Fringe show, Big Tops And Tiny Tots Circus Show, is a joy. Wolf holds the ‘tiny tots’ enraptured with her tricks and entranced by her for the entire 45 minutes of her performance.
Wolf clearly knows children: what they like and how to relate to them. As soon as the youngsters enter the tent, she ushers them down to the front and starts chatting to them (always ‘to’, never ‘down to’ or ‘at’) – what a great barrier breakdown: and even though parents are in the tent as well, the tots are always made to feel that this is a show just for them.
There’s wonderful silliness, especially with a hat that just doesn’t want to co-operate and a suitcase that has its own ideas on where it should be going; good unicycle work (especially when Wolff decides to balance it on her); and a fantastic plate spinning finale that all the audience get to help with.
Little tots will love it, and I guarantee, so will the ‘BIG’ tots!!
