The cast of Used To Be Slime get dressed for Glasgow's press
On Friday I attended the press photo call for Used to be Slime – where I tried my best to look professional and look like I knew what I was doing, but unfortunately my equipment made me look a little under prepared – compared to the pros.
A nice camera. I.e, not mine.
Whilst dodging the professionals – getting the inside scoop on how these ‘shoots’ work – I started pondering what separates those in front and those behind. Having an extremely snap-happy mum I am always on the look out for household objects to duck behind but she always finds a way! Yet, the majority of performer friends I know are the complete opposite and the cast was no different, using this opportunity to show how flexible/strong/comical they were.
Bendy.
Some would call this the ‘look at me’ syndrome, but I find that rather too negative. Yes, sometimes it can be a little overbearing, but isn’t this why we pay to see actors, performers, dancers, and circus clowns in the first? And good for them – they are brave enough to put themselves out there and be judged.
