Miss Martel stands in the set of Big Top Academy.

Miss Martel is in her forties, with long slightly wavy red hair and wears a red striped buttoned-down sweater and a blue headscarf.

She says HELLO EVERYBODY.
AT BIG TOP ACADEMY, WE PRIZE
INNOVATIVE STUDENTS WHO
COME UP WITH INCREDIBLE
PERFORMANCES, ALWAYS,
AFTER MONTHS OF
SUPERVISED TRAINING WITH
TEACHERS LIKE ME. SO KIDS,
GET INSPIRED BY THEIR SKILLS
AND CREATIVITY BUT BE SAFE.
DON'T TRY ANY OF THIS
WITHOUT PROPER CIRCUS COACHING.
ENJOY THE SHOW.

Maxwell is in his mid-teens, with short wavy light brown hair and wears a gray polo T-shirt.

Max says HI.
I AM MAX AND THIS IS BIG
TOP ACADEMY'S SHOWCASE OF
POSSIBILITIES PERFORMANCE.

The Big Top Academy logo appears with the caption "Big Top Performance."

Max says IT WAS CALLED THE SHOWCASE OF
POSSIBILITIES BECAUSE EACH OF US
WAS GONNA PERFORM SOMETHING WE
HAD BEEN TOO SCARED TO EVER DO
BEFORE.
IT WAS ALL ABOUT FACING YOUR
FEARS TO BECOME A BETTER CIRCUS
ARTIST.
I WAS GONNA SING A SONG I WROTE
BUT THEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT
RIGHT BEFORE THE
SHOWCASE WAS SUPPOSED TO START.
IT WAS TOTAL CHAOS AND THE
SHOWCASE WAS GONNA BE CANCELED.
SOME PEOPLE EVEN THOUGHT I WAS
THE ONE WHO SABOTAGED THE SHOW.
THAT REALLY HURT MY FEELINGS.
I ALMOST QUIT THE WHOLE THING
BUT THEN I REALIZED THAT RAYNES
DON'T QUIT.
I KNEW WE HAD TO FACE OUR
FEARS EVEN IF IT WAS JUST FOR
OURSELVES.
THE SHOW MUST GO ON.
SO WE CHANGED ALL THE AERIAL
ROUTINES SO THEY COULD BE SAFELY
PERFORMED ON THE GROUND AND DID
EVERYTHING WITH GLOW IN THE DARK
SPECIAL EFFECTS.
I THINK THIS PERFORMANCE
DEFINITELY TAUGHT ALL OF US TO
EXPECT THE
UNEXPECTED AND IT FELT GREAT.

The athletes stand backstage wearing black suits and holding white hats.

Max says BTA ON THREE.

They all join their hats together in the centre of a circle.

Max says ONE, TWO, THREE

They all say BTA.

(music plays)

The athletes do a performance with hats, coats and gloves that glow in the dark. The set looks like free standing hands and hats moving around.

Now wearing a white hooded coat, Max juggles with neon hoops.

Then an athlete wearing neon a suit make balancing and spinning on another athlete's hands.

Then two girls wearing glowing suits doing backflips.

Two other athletes simulate a fight.

Then the girls with the glowing suits bring out glowing ribbons and spin them.

Then everyone joins the stage and spin glowing ribbons.

Max says IN THE END I HAD TO
FACE ONE OF MY BIGGEST FEARS.
THROWING OUT ALL MY PREPARATION
AND DOING SOMETHING UNREHEARSED
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT.
