Redemption cabaret
Who else is planning on performing in the Redemption cabaret? I already know of at least two other definite acts, and that's just people I've spoken to in the last couple of weeks.
I'm starting to work on a poi routine (but I need to see if my eldest son can splice the exact music I need from my CD as there's a long intro that isn't relevant).
katlinel mentioned that she was using a song about the end of the world, so I've decided to try and work out a routine to Tom Leher's song "We'll all go together when we go". (If that doesn't work right for the timing, then I'll find another song) It's delightfully tasteless and very funny.
Having learnt a broom dance at the molly workshop I went to, I'm tempted to try that as well. Ideally, this would need two things (in addition to a broom). It would need a musician who can play for it - most standard folk dance tunes will work - and someone else to join in.
A broom dance if often competitative in nature. The first dancer does a figure, and the second dancer attempts to copy it. IF they both get it right, there's the option of speeding up the music...
I'd love to try and get my sons doing this. They've both got the build to be really good broom dancers (leggy and flexible) and I'm willing to bet they can manage a figure that most broom dancers (including me) wouldn't dare attempt. And they're very competitive with one another.... Evil grin!
