As was the case in 2020, the Roma Tribal Meeting with all its exciting workshops and of course performances will only take place digitally this year.
Even though it is not the same as meeting in real life, we are really looking forward to it and have already booked various workshops. What makes us especially happy is the fact, that we were asked to submit a video for the online performance – our first performance as a group! Having been together for only half a year, this was an exciting project that we tackled right away….
Preparation under difficult circumstances:
Unfortunately it was clear almost from the start that Marisa would not be able to dance with us, as she was still recovering from surgery. So for this project it was down to 4 dancers, since we had already invited Elisabeth from Anam Chara to join us as a guest. We really enjoyed (at least virtually) dancing with her. After we had decided on a slow dance and the right music, Julia started to conceptualize our dance and Tina started with the graphic preparations for editing. Nicole and Elisabeth even designed and crafted new coin bras, and we were all really excited and ready to go. But then our schedule almost fell apart, because Julia got sick, but she did not let it get her down and somehow still managed to prepare us very well for our filming.
These took place individually due to the current Covid regulations, so a lot of things had to be discussed in advance to make sure that everything would go well together. From costumes to camera angles and lighting. Even though we would have preferred to dance together, it was still a lot of fun to see each other’s videos one by one, and to get a first impression of what the final video might turn out to be like…
And now comes the most difficult part….. Waiting until our performance will be published at Roma Tribal Meeting at the end of the month and until we can finally share the result with you!
