December was a busy month for me as a performer and I have to admit I'm still learning to shoot more behind the scenes footage.
One thing about performing is that from the moment I'm with other performers or on the job, I need to focus and manage my time well. No mistakes can be made. The car ride to Belgium was fun together so we could catch up on conversations & life.
Arriving at the location with the stilts, from that moment it gets more busy. Getting everything ready for a show takes about 2 hours. I'm usually done quickly with my make up so I could be faster but it's nice to not have to rush.
For this gig the town organised a walk through the city for it's inhabitants & together with Nick (curly haired guy in the picture) we were the opening act for the start of the walk. I did 2 rounds of 45 minutes and had to do flow arts with led spin fans on the stilts. There was another pair of stiltwalkers for when we needed to take a break.
Camille, Zoe and Lisa were LED fairies for the day, on a different position in the route. We had the same gig 2 days in a row so I slept over at Zoe her house with Nick and Lisa. It was a lot of fun & we ended up watching the movie 'Rebel Moon'.
My make up worked out a lot better on the second day & I'm still bummed I never got the pictures of the whole act since they were shot with a separate camera. Better luck next time! Hope you enjoyed this little peek into my performance <3
We had a lovely Christmas Eve stream playing chill tunes. I have a gig for NYE so I played through all my deep house music to see if songs stand out and I need to put them in the set for it. Enjoy the stream recap!
First time playing through this list, tried to find songs to match the vibe of the costume. Hope you enjoy the more party vibe!
What a nice song I found, the guitar solo is so good at the end! Hope you like it too, enjoy!
As most of you know I don't do Stiltwalking to often anymore, unless it's with fire. This gig was so close by home & only one hour welcoming guests to a business event so I decided to take it. 3 layers of skirts and an insanely heavy feather thing for on my head and I was ready for welcoming everyone! We handed out wristbands for the people who work in healthcare, it was their business party. The thing I love about business parties is that there is food & drinks for you before or after the show so you get fed nicely haha. Anyways, time to rest. Much love, Nova
I got the opportunity to perform at a Dia de los Muertos event in Amsterdam and I created a custom fire show for it. Mr Kane helped me with mixing the songs I selected. I bought a new costume & created the act. I was so lucky with Mightypower offering to bring his sparkler machines (the fireworks fountains in the back). I feel like this really completed the show. A fireshow in autumn or winter is always hard because of cold and wind so a few wicks didn't light but for the rest it was a banger of a show. I got so many good replies from it. I now feel confident in doing a solo fire show (this was the second time I did a full solo performance with fire). Hope you enjoy the show!
Unfortunately I had to cut the first two songs since my camera didn't want to focus. Luckily after a restart it worked again. Enjoy the chill rock!!
Lovely mix to dance to with this live collab with Kigatsuo - I love to shake things up with Liquid DnB to get away from deep house a bit. Too much of the same can get repetitive. Liquid DnB is nice and chill to still flow to. Anyways, enjoy ^^
