If you walked into a room with NO notebook and pencil or dictaphone no one sees you as a reporter, walk I with one and every one assumes you are "the" reporter or "a" reporter, walk in wearing a pencil skirt, nice blouse and your hair up and or in a bun with specs on clutching a notepad you automatically are a "secretary". The note book and the pencil just saved you 7 minutes of explaining..........K.I.S.S  |
You may tentatively suggest that, but I think you're wrong this time - especially as with your illustration you have just proved the need for using props you dear sweet dingbat
Ok here's the story, I can't give too much away because I need one element cleared with someone first. The bearded lady is in love. Now I WILL be doing lots of silent movie ham acting to show this - but I need to show the object of my affections - hence large A1 laminated poster that I shall show to audience, kiss, dance with - that's prop 1.
But he doesn't love me. My actions and the music I've chosen to use I'm pretty sure will convery this. I have an oversized cut-throat razor (which is a prop....like a notepad....and no, I've never been a newspaper hack thank god) but there's a big turning point in the middle of the routine and that's the bit where I think I'm going to use over-sized book with just 4 huge words on front, and just 2 inside it....
And that's when I'm gonna use my arms, use my legs, use my fingers, use my sidestep, use my my my my imagination...I'm Special, so special..... (plus bursting out of large coat to show very sparkly dress underneath etc) to finish the act.
I totally know what you mean Diva, it's an story I've had in my head for a long time now, and it's been quite difficult, but fun, to suss out simplest way to get it across to an audience. I adore evolution of woman when you can hear the audience start to be in on the joke.
I've tried to get it down to it's bare bones, and I don't think it's too far off now
