Hey - the comment ...Ringmaster Brian Carbee (front right) is shown with Retina, a Belgian/English dance company performing in Wellington in 1995. is INCORRECT. Retina Dance company was created by me Glenn Birchall. The show as called Carnival of Dreams choreographed by Glenn Birchall and co-written with Gary Henderson and performed at Downstage theatre. Let me know if you want the names of the other people/performers in the photo.
