Russell Middlebrook Adagio Hand Balancing Act

These performers are New Zealand Champion Cecil Tucker, 16 year old Yvonne De Bough and Russell Middlebrook. Russell Middlebrook is Byko the Clown and Mademoiselle passed away a few years ago but was a great performer and carried on into his 80s working at Robinsons Family Circus. He was also a great plasterer and bragged about working on the fancy designs in the Civic Theatre in Auckland. He was awarded the VAC Benny Trophy in 1983 and a Scroll of Honour in 1973. Filmed maybe in the 1950s. Russell is commenting on the scenes.
