We Want Graz And Giada On Strictly
This week, Kevin talks to dancer and choreographer, Graziano Di Prima, and world champion show dancer, Giada Lini - both alumni of BBC's Strictly Come Dancing - about 'Here Come The Boys', the latest dance show extravaganza taking the West End by storm, how lockdown has affected the relationship between performers and their audiences, and the importance of being true to yourself.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Sometimes when we work to tight deadlines and in a more intense environment, it can produce more magic in terms of performance and inventiveness. Performing in theatres has taken on a whole new dimension in the wake of COVID. Audience members now wear masks in the theatres, which can make judging their reaction a lot tougher. Keeping ourselves in the peak physical condition during lockdown required a whole new level of discipline. No longer were we guided by others, but were forced to guide ourselves. It took mental discipline and will power. Finding your own path in life, and discovering who you really are inside, is a journey that is sometimes derailed by the opinions of others. We find our singular place in life by ignoring the comments of others and remaining true to ourselves.BEST MOMENTS
