I am very happy to work in such a wonderful profession - this week I got to start work on a project called "Minotaurus". It tells a story of captivity and victims, of sacrifice and love, all with the help of two tightrope walkers/dancers and one ("regular") dancer.
To get into the story they showed me a runthrough of their piece, and so I was sitting there, watching, transfixed, eyes wide open at how they not only walk on that rope but actually dance.
To provide costumes for them now will be a real challenge - they have to look amazing of course and still be unbreakable :-) The soles on their shoes last for no longer then a week of rehearsing before they lose their grip...
What an exciting world I live in! Obviously I will keep you informed and pictures are soon to follow...
