Silk Sister's Temporary Replacement
I was pretty out of it today. Everything went like it always does except I was really starting to cough a little more and I was tired all day. In the morning we were able to catch an aerialist that usually works for Forms in Motion. She did an act for the Silk Sisters because they had a schedule conflict? Seems kind of strange but whatever. Anyway, I really like how this chic performed. She was built like Caroline at NECCA. It was awesome. She had a really great personality that showed on stage. The act wasn't anything too impressive but still, it was nice to watch.
Our Daily Activities Between Shows
We had our first performance shortly after that. Our choreographer was there to make sure everything was still going well. She video taped our first performance which is always nerve racking because I never know if I'm fully warmed up or not because we don't have any room to do so. Anyway, it went pretty alright. We got to watch it later and we were told to smile more. I hadn't really been doing that because I was thinking of it more as a gymnastics demonstration then a performance. Hmm.
More of the Trade Show
Then we had our long ass break between performances. I didn't really walk around much today. I just stayed at our table and updated my blog. Oh boy what fun. I did a lot of it though. I also got pictures from my Saltimbanco street performing gig. They were pretty rockin! It sucks because I'm not that flexible but you know, contorting for 11 hours will do that to your body haha.
Jena's Ever Growing Lanyard Collection
The last two shows were pretty good. For some reason I keep not following through with my back tuck off of Ray's back. In the video I lifted my hands half way then tucked instead of throwing my hands directly up. I do it the right way when I'm on the ground but I think I freak out when I'm higher so I tuck in for safety sooner. I'm trying to fix it but it's not going great. So because of that I'm not sticking my landing well. I mean it's not terrible but it could be better. *sigh* I have to do it well! Grar! Frustrating.
I also decided that I want a lyra act so I emailed Bronwyn to see if she'll work with me on it. I feel I should have one. I got inspired by a song for a lyra act. I think it would be good to just have and so I have more experience on the lyra. Once I do that I'll be trying to put together a fabric act. I decided I needed to be more experienced in everything so I'm going to give it a try this year.
So Apparently It's For Crocheting and Stuff lol
Our last show was actually video taped by some company. I don't know where that footage is going to be but I hope it looks good haha. When Rob drove me back to my place we went by a Thai place I hadn't seen before. I ended up walking there for dinner. It was really nice! The guy was super nice and started talking to me about Saratoga Raceways in Upstate NY because I told him where I was from. He even gave me a glass of water while I was waiting. How nice is that! I got Panang Noodles. They were delicious. And a thai iced tea to go! I crashed at 11PM and had such a good night sleep.
