A Fringe Quickie (#399) with ‘Pascol – Vocal Performance’

Questions answered by Sasha Gefen.

Q1: Aside from this Quickie, what is the most desperate marketing tactic you plan on using to get bums in seats this August? 280 chars

Of course, by standing in the street and shouting, “Please come! You’ll be amazed!” Since people tend to be slightly annoyed by that approach, we’ll probably stick to singing and dancing instead: a little preview of what’s to come.

Q2: We all have weird pre-performance rituals. What is yours, and how confused would a normal person be if they walked in on you doing it?

Holding hands with eyes closed, breathing out to each other’s palms, imagining that we are one organism. No one is more important than the other. Lungs are as essential as heart or brain. This is how we perceive each other. Someone sees us – probably just freeze and watch.

Q3: If you brought this show home for the holidays, how would your parents react to them?

Well, my grandma would probably say, “When I was 32, I was already the CEO of a big company. And you’re still doing… this?” Then she’d come to the show anyway and secretly enjoy it and be proud of me.

Q4: If all the shows running right now were at a massive Fringe house party, what is your show doing?

Standing on the table in the main room, singing and dancing. We want our music to play!
