Seriously, I had to ask myself for the tenth time in each month ....Why?????????
Today I had to briefly deal with this again, and then I just realised how hectic these choreographers make the runway, the designers' pieces as well as the models themselves. So then I asked one of the models how long they had been coming in for rehearsals, and funnily enough she said this was the second week!
"Second week ??" Oh my!
Second week of rehearsals as the choreographer filled their minds with something that they would eventually tangle up their ideology of the modeling industry. Worse is that the next time he gets a new group of models, he would do the same thing again, and then it only frustrates the modeling agency thats trying to make things right!
So everytime we have the open call, we have to undo what was done by the choreographers, then redo to what is simple and real!
So yes, I know that this is showbiz, but c'mon! Do we really need 6 female models on line one, then 6 male models on line two, then the line 'oners' have to walk in a straight line with the line 'twoers' and look like they are holding hands in sequence. Then for some strange reason, one of the female models on line one gets distracted because of the one million 'turns' and 'poses' and 'stops' and 'two turns again' and 'handshake' with a line 'oner' ...............
and the show comes to a crumble.
Then within a few minutes, it's the blame game backstage as the eager, yet confused audience lose it..
From a designer point of view the purpose of my clothes showcasing in the show is the bottom line. However, when the models set out to dance and do all that 'extra extra read all about it,' what is the audience supposed to be focusing on?
Can the buyers even see the clothes? or is it the choreographed-backfired-movement?
Can't we just have models strut the runway in a simple normal way so that we can see what we came to see?
And how much is the choreographer making to mess up the show?
And why should the show even take place in the first place?
Do the choreographers make a show or mess a show?
Are they mandatory or a show to run successfully?
What's really up with that the 5 turns that trip them off the runway, if they don't fall on the audience itself? Or if they don't bump into each other as they create a bonding moment of confusion only them can relate to?
