It is show day here in Taipei. After 2 long long days of skating and more practice today as well as a dress rehearsal before the show I am concerned that my legs just will look up at me and laugh just when I actually need them. Seems I am in every group number and the preparations for Singing In The Rain kept me on the ice a few hours longer than the other skaters. This, even though it makes for a tired performer, is the most amazing part.
There is a huge screen at the end of the rink that they can project anything on and I do mean anything. The images and light show for this skating show is so wonderful that truly it is basically a show all on it's own. Also, they use the ice as a screen as well. For example, I will be skating on cobblestone while performing
Singing... wow!! Also, there will be 3 lamposts on the ice and Hong Bo, ( 2010 Olympic Champion, 2-time Olympic bronze medalist, 3-time World Champion pairs skater ) will be playing the policeman to my Gene Kelly.
Went to an outdoor food market last night and ate Cockscomb. Yup, that floppy thing that sits on top of a roosters head!! I won't tell you what it tastes like, you will just have to try it to find out.
Time to go be on the ice all day and then cross my fingers for the show. |
