Default The perils of chair dancing

I've spent today in the colleges theatre dancing my socks off in a very amatuer attemp at contemporary dance to help in someones project. I never dance for fear of looking like a twat so it was great to have the space to move around in and not care. All it was being filmed to look back on.

so after lunch I thought I'd do some chair dancing in a very sultry way to a depressing Nick Cave song and it was all going fine....until I stradled the chair....and got stuck! It was one of thiose chairs with metal round the seat and somehow me thighs got stuck under them. What made it worse was that the camera seemed to be zoomed on my big, stuck arse arse! How I managed to stop laughing and carry on I dont know.

Miss Sally Bowles I certainly aint.

Anyone else had any really dumb burlesque moments while learning?

Question

recently for whatever reason I could open my feather fans...ususally a wee flick of my wrist and they open beautifully.

Not this time.

For some reason they wouldn't open. so I flicked alot harder to get them open and managed to twat my head with them...

Carried on performing dispite the burised ego and sore head...off stage I realised I had managed to bruise my head with the staves...

I couldn't open one of my feather fans - then I realised I was trying to open it the wrong way ...

I tripped on a fold in the carpet and fell (onstage)- but it all came off well in the end. The great thing is that no one really knows what you're doing, so you can fake ANYTHING and it will be okay- just so long as you are quick on your feet! Not to mention that you can always turn it into a comedy, laughter IS the world's best medicine (and far a better friend than diamonds to be sure)!

Wink The Perils of chair dancing

I was performing in a theatre to an audience of 350 people and my ring - shaped like a snake - got stuck in the lace top of my pants that peeked over the top of the leathers I was wearing. There was nothing else to do but tell the audience, they loved it ... anything can become part of an act I suppose!

For some reason last night I was having trouble gripping the staves on my fans and they kept closing on me whilst I was trying to perform!!!

I'm sure it made me look really stupid!!!
