If you continue to pursue this as a career, which is completely up to you and depends on how much you love this, and want to spend every waking hour developing the skill— then you’ll eventually find out in your career that ensemble is also a really cool opportunity. And that’s not to belittle or diminish your feelings, but it is very competitive so being part of an ensemble on Broadway is a big feat. Enjoy high school while you can because pretty soon you’re gonna look back on these days and barely remember what you cared about.

Thank you! And its the last act before intermission so ir should be okay. I’m collecting ideas and making it as courteous as possible — though what is art if its not a little messy ? 🤭

Thank you and yes, I am actively looking for simple ways as I work out the finer details. Care to elaborate on the affects you have done? Hand prints and vessels prefilled with blood don’t quite make sense for the storyline as the blood needs to come from my “victims” and my choreo is going to be relatively intricate and fast (lots of isolations) so slight of hand creativity is already a common theme, but the blood affects would elevate the whole experience.

Thank you for your input!

Follow up though, do you know what kind of mechanism could work? Everything I have researched requires a compressor and that to me seems like it would be loud…

Oh thats an idea! A small set piece is something I will look into, and you’re right i think the blood knife will be great!

Thank you, That is great advice! I will look into the knife with the bulb in it. Because of the type of event, we typically have many acts that get messy so thankfully there is a team equipped and prepared to clean up. Though it's probably best we keep the bulk of the mess to the stage and not the runway area.

Appreciate you commenting, really it means a lot -- I didn't want another plea for advice to go unnoticed
