Cirque
De La Mer Splashes Into Summer
 Cirque
de la Mer entertained over one million guests last summer
at SeaWorld San Diego, and the show premiered for the 2002 season
during Memorial Day weekend. Enhancements to the show have been
introduced for its second season, including staging elements
bringing the audience closer to the performers. The Gala Award-winning
Cirque de la Mer show features water-based acrobatics,
playful "sea sprite" characters in inventively colorful costumes,
and an original musical score by Sam Trego. This thrilling spectacle
takes place in the "Amphibitheatre", a fantasy stage set in
the water of San Diego's Mission Bay.
Sam
Trego Nominated for Spotlight Award
Event Solutions Magazine has nominated Sam Trego for the Spotlight
Award for "Entertainer of the Year". This award is like the
"People's Choice" award of the special events industry, as winners
are chosen by event professionals, and votes are cast with a
ballot in the June issue of Event Solutions magazine. We would
be honored to receive your vote. Read more here

CiRCO Plays Staring Role at Celebrity Events
 Cameron
Diaz delighted her guests at a recent private party with IE's
talented acrobats. Guests like Lucy Liu and Benicio del Toro
were "wowed" with the grace, strength, and flexibility of our
performers. As a result of that event, the cast of iL CiRCO
was selected to entertain a celebrity-filled audience at Maxim
Magazines' event honoring the "Hottest 100 Women" featured in
the publication.
Staff
Profile - Brian Sharp
 As
IE's Production Manager, Brian has the sensitivity of a psychologist,
the organizational skills of a meeting planner and the artistic
sense of a Broadway theatre director. As if that's not impressive
enough--he's also an accomplished dancer and choreographer and
regularly appears in the Cirque de la Mer advertisements
in full "sea sprite" regalia! Brian's hallmark is his delightful
sense of humor, which can transform the most stressful situation.
A true road warrior, he spends most of his time traveling with
our shows. Travel comes naturally for Brian; he has lived all
over the world prior to joining IE. In his rare free time he
hikes, bikes, climbs and dives. Here he is, in a precarious
position atop a San Diego county peak.

corporate award dinners and general session openings for business

choir or a headline performance by artists like Lee Greenwood.
