I'd try not to rely too much on boards, if you're not in the first few rows it can be difficult to see much, especially if you're far too short like I am It's a cute idea though, I hope it works out xx
Thanks Miserabelle. Talking about it all here has definitely crystallised my ideas and there's only going to be one thing with words on....BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH for mentioning the danger of something being shiny. You are so right and it hadn't even occurred to me. I was going to laminate my big poster to make it more durable, but you're totally right about it being a blur if the lights hit it at the wrong angle.

So glad I asked you lot!!

I know it's difficult without me talking you through the whole storyline, what music I'm using and how I plan to link in me removing clothing with it etc. I think I've sorted all this - but there's a big part of the act I need to clear with someone first before I can start seriously thinking about performing it.
