This is tiggress in its latest manifestation
Feedback questions:
1) How is it with the imaginary characters (sakhi and Carlos)...or can Shy and Cyn play these?
2) I have stuck primarily with the traditional BN demo format until we see Surpanaka and my own response at the end....should there be expanded movement vocab and/or repetition. If so, where?
3) I see that potentially this can precede Mixed Bag ....any thoughts on this and how we might transition. Is my text at the end too much and shall I say less?
4) Other feedback

This is a rough structure that begins with a Flashback (and voiceover of Carlos saying"and she was just like a Tigres...(echo effect on Tigress). We then enter the demo cut with the Padam verse by verse. I was supposed to confide in the sakhi (friend) in the first verse, but I performed it in the second by mistake.
Also, the ending need lots of work. I was just improvising the ending drawing from gestures I had used throughout the piece but I need to set it more specifically. I will probably spin from demo to padam but other transition ideas are welcomed

Questions:
1) Is it effective to begin with the Flashback?

2) Should the gestures be more abstracted or are they working. I wanted to lead the audience in with a more traditional demo so it unfolds more or less as a surprise.

3) Where do you see the chorus happening? I envision it after I start the first verse of demo...i.e What? after 1st verse Really? after second vs. and NO in 3rd verse and then perhaps it builds/layers --goes to the rap we had done at end of residency...
