We are filming this routine next week in it's finished form and I'll
replace this with the high quality version when we finish.

Saw your performance at IJA. Nice to see it again, because it was a
lot to take in, in first viewing. Amazing Show! Bravo!
Awesome routine! So many cool ideas! So much visual stimulation!
It sucks that the drops got to you guys in the competition - I felt
nervous for you, playing with my hands and clenching my fists, anxious
knot in my stomach.
Have you thought about slacklining + juggling for this routine?
It was fun hanging out with you two too, and sharing an inspiringly
Singing workshop!
See you soon, I hope!

We were bummed about the drops, too. Oh well. It was still a cool
experience and we learned a lot by doing it. Nerves are such a stupid
thing to get caught-up in! Once you're on stage whatever's going to
happen is going to happen, so it's best to just embrace that, relax, and
go with it.
Recently I read an article on sports psychology claiming that people
frequently misinterpret positive adrenalin, identifying and reacting to it
instead as fear. In the show we market to the general public it's easy
for me to take that pre-performance amped energy and put it into my
character. I was a little surprised that I couldn't access that as
readily in front of a juggling audience.
All audiences want to be entertained, no matter who they are, and as an
entertainer that's what I'm there to do, no matter what stage I'm on.
That's my mindset from here on out.
Have you worked with the workshop material much since the IJA? We've been
playing with it. It's been yielding some cool stuff.
