However, this is just the kind of entertainment the Ants Council would joyfully sponsor.<br /><br /><a href="http://s128.photobucket.com/albums/p188/insectcircus/?action=view&amp;current=antcostume-.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p188/insectcircus/antcostume-.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />Above is a typical ant costume from the 1970's<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://s128.photobucket.com/albums/p188/insectcircus/?action=view&amp;current=ant_show_sign_with_arrow-.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p188/insectcircus/ant_show_sign_with_arrow-.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></span><br /><br />Above is a sign from Seeth &amp; Bidwell's Great Ant Show c.1930.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/673511377353696052-2239069905930116475?l=antscouncil.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Ants Councilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06898606822868279995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673511377353696052.post-5348017632046041152010-04-02T03:54:00.000-07:002010-04-02T04:16:23.336-07:00<a href="http://s128.photobucket.com/albums/p188/insectcircus/?action=view&amp;current=antscouncillogofinal-.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p188/insectcircus/antscouncillogofinal-.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />The Ants Council was founded in the 1950's to provide funding for the kinds of insect performance that do not fit the norm. Long ignored by Government funded arts organisations, insect performance has flourished in recent times. We pride ourselves that this is, in small part, due to our own involvement in the sector.<br /><br />A new round of grants, available from the Ants Council, will be announced soon.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/673511377353696052-534801763204604115?l=antscouncil.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Ants Councilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06898606822868279995noreply@blogger.com0
