New Comers Night Class of 2012
Posted on 18. Jan, 2013 by T.T. Tassel in Event Information, Main Articles
New Comers Night 2012 was held in YO-Talo, Tampere.
With 20 new performances and over 20 new performers the stage was set for an exciting night of entertainment, many of the performers had never been on a big stage in front of a large audience before. Some had a bit of experience in front of small audiences, a few also had been pick up artists.
The time came and the doors were opened to the public, showtime was drawing closer, the air was electric with anticipaition and nervious excitment.
Lafayette Lestrange and Stella Polaire were the hosts for the evening, and did a really good job of introducing the performers, and entertaining the audience between acts.
For their part the audience was outstanding, and really got behind the performers, even when there was a technical mishap the audience was there cheering the performer on and giving full support.
The performers put on a really good show, over coming nerves and as mentioned technical problems, through everything they kept true to the old addage “the show must go on”.
Thanks go out to Burleski instituutti and Tampere Burlesque for organising and making it happen.
Unfortunatly I am unable to post pictures from all the performances, so please do not feel bad if your performance is not there.
