What is a “Hup (clap) HEY!” anyway? / ¿Qué es un “Hup (clap) HEY!”?
A “Hup” in circus terms is a call that signals other performers to get ready. It may be shorthand for “heads up”, as in here comes a juggling ball, person, or a big group ending to a routine. It definitely is a call to the present moment. When you follow the “Hup” with a clap and then everyone shouts, “HEY!” (usually with their arms stretched out high in the air) you get a traditional ending, or “style” to an act (followed by roaring applause from the audience). We also use the “Hup (clap) HEY!” as a means to close all of our classes, workshops, camps and performances. We have found that it represents all the joy, community, teamwork, accomplishment, and fun that we want our company to share with the world. So we took it as our name. Go ahead and give it a try!
Un “Hup” en términos circenses es una señal que indica a los demás artistas que se preparen. Puede ser una forma abreviada de “heads up” (atención), como en “aquí viene una bola de malabares, una persona o el final de un gran número”. Definitivamente es una llamada al momento presente. Cuando sigues el “Hup” con un aplauso y luego todos gritan, “¡HEY!” (usualmente con los brazos estirados hacia el aire), obtienes un final tradicional o un “estilo” para un acto (seguido de un aplauso estruendoso del público).
También usamos el “Hup (aplauso) ¡HEY!” como una forma de cerrar todas nuestras clases, talleres, campamentos y presentaciones. Hemos descubierto que representa toda la alegría, comunidad, trabajo en equipo, logro y diversión que queremos que nuestra compañía comparta con el mundo. Así que lo adoptamos como nuestro nombre. ¡Adelante, inténtalo tú también!
