@monkeyangel611 dont be silly, you did a fantastic job as the columbine doll, you were stiff in your movment and pointie technique, you have nothing to be dissapointed about it was great and you were a great doll i would buy you from a toy shop, lol jokes ;)

@tomobackfliper haha yea it was. Eh i wasnt a good doll :/ I dont have the best technique on pointe but im good. my nerves made me completely mess up. I was definately dissapointed after this performance.

@monkeyangel611 well you must make one hell of a doll then :), is this the only doll like role you have been in?

[monkeyangel611]

@tomobackfliper ooo haha thats interesting! :) Well the father grabbed me tight around my waist and flipped me over (kinda like half of a cart wheel). so i kept my legs and arms very still in the same spot as he flipped me and carried me so that it looked like i was stiff like a doll.

@monkeyangel611 how did you stay in the same position whil being fliped around?

our dolls were all sold at the end of the party because we mixed it upo a little. at the end of the party the drossmyer told me to bring out the dolls and i placed them all on the stage then the girls would play around with them then the fathers would tell the daughters to pick one and then each father would flip the doll around and carry one off with the daughter danceing around him, thats one way to jazz it up:)

@tomobackfliper it wasn't in the clip unfortunately :( but i was wheeled onstage in a big present box and lifted out of it. And when i was carried off, one of the fathers in the scene picked me up upside down and carried me off. I stayed in the same position (as you see me in when im standing there at the end of the clip) as he caried me off. It was funny too! and fun :) lol

in my schools production we had all female roles and i was th butler how carryed them out it was fun, i hd the two soilder dolls on each shoulder then the columbine doll i fliped upsid down and we also had a barbie doll becuase of the jazz part of the studio and i carryed her like a surf board, it was funny. what was it like for you two be carryed out?

The costumes are great but honestly, the choreography isn't so fantastic and the Columbine doll is not very strong technically, though I do like her beginning.

At my ballet school, Westlake School for the Performing Arts, we have the mechanical robot, dancing dll, and the 3 tapping toy soldiers.
