8 days til showtime and a lotta lotta work to do…

This last week has been spent showing our director, Gerry Flanagan, the performances we’ve been working on in each discipline. Gerry’s job is to combine seven acrobatic routines, six aerial pieces, five clown skits, a dance, one hat manipulation, one extreme rolla bolla and a tightrope act together into one big show, preferably in a way that has class, makes us look fab and that the audience can sit through without falling asleep.  We started the week with some pretty rough work but a few pointers from Gerry about engaging with the audience and complicite with the other performers can completely transform an act.

It’s been kind of cool to see just how much we can improve in a very short space of times so we thought we’d show you a snapshot of our dance piece just eight days before it will be launched to the public.  Please use sound to fully experience just how terrible we were! And if WE can do a dance show, on a stage, in front of an audience, ANYONE can dance!  I’ll keep you posted on the progress (hopefully with some more advanced movie editing though I’m very excited at my iMovie debut).
