me by others

The founder of stiltmania, Ian is to blame for all this !!MADNESS!! and fun!!! Among his many talents Ian boasts (and can deliver) 4ft and longer (stilts that is) in a variety of wonderful and occasionally bizarre costumes, you can meet characters from the worlds tallest; Victorian gardener -complete with broom and surly yet wry humour to a manic 10ft shaman.

Ian is also a stuntman wannabe - PLEASE keep him away from any slides (especially in wet weather) Furthermore you can find Ian on a slightly more accessible level - although still not stable as he performs RolaBola, RolaBola stacks and RolaBola extreme, unfortunately these stunts defy explanation so take a look at the pics and make up your own mind!! With the aid of a few friends Ian performs (as far as we know) the only multiple person Rola Bola ~ our record is NINE...yes 9...people on one board so far!!!!

OH!! and keep your eyes open for his fire performances....they are illuminating to say the least.....

ME BY ME

I enjoy teaching stilts and various other aspects of performing arts skills at workshops
I think its nicer to be impressed then depressed
I make all the stilts, poi, rolabolas, and props
I make all my own costumes and some for other people
If at all possible I will help others achieve (even if it seems like a daft idea at the time)
I have most of the daft ideas
some things I like :-
Music from Melanie Safka to Goa Trance (listening at present to Distance to Goa)
Live performance whether watching or producing or taking part
The delight on the face of someone walking on stilts for the first time without assistance
The delight on the face of someone performing for the first time
Home cooking ( even if I cook it myself )
Having a laugh
Funny websites a awelshview or entensity (see links page)
