Day 138

Day 138

Tuesday 21 Jan 2014

I’ve been to the US Open a ton of times and Arthur Ashe Stadium is a beast with 22,547 seats. Rod Laver Arena at the Australian Open is the perfect venue for grand slam tennis with a fitting 14,820 seats. Not too big, but big enough for them to make money. There really aren’t bad seats in the house.

Some amazing tennis happening inside this building!

YAAASSS @afpirozzi (& @adamjepsen ) Love this piece from the NYTimes on our Sven! #Repost @nytimes ・・・ When Disney decided to adapt @disneyfrozen for the stage, the creative team seriously considered killing off Sven, the reticent #reindeer. But the company invited its longtime puppetry collaborator, Michael Curry, to experiment with ways the shaggy creature might be represented onstage. The resulting reindeer has become one of the most popular characters in the show. Sven’s head is molded out of carbon-fiber composite, his body is shaped foam covered with braided raw silk, and his hooves are rubber-coated foam sculpture mounted around aluminum and stainless-steel orthopedic braces. Underneath, the performer wears a full-body wicking suit, a carbon-fiber head mount held in place by a soft urethane skin, knee and elbow pads, biking gloves, and a mouth guard. For the 40 minutes Sven is onstage, the performer inside is on all fours, essentially planking for up to 7 minutes at a time, with 11-inch stilts attached to his hands, and 5-inch metal shanks attached to his feet. The role was originated by @afpirozzi, an actor who has been dancing since he was 4. He and Michael, who has studied animal anatomy, each spent hours watching YouTube videos of migrating reindeer. “It turns out they’re really gangly, just like our guy — they’re not graceful,” Michael said. @karstenmoran took these photos of Andrew becoming Sven.
