Although I perform mainly on the burlesque and sideshow scenes here in NYC, I also dabble in performance art with the NYC Burning Man crowd.
My basic act is putting a dancer inside a six foot diameter clear balloon and letting them rock with it however they wanna go. Ive done it with gogo and improv dancers. I really want to try it with a belly dancer. Im told there are variations on tribal costume thatd be conducive to entry into the balloon. This stems from the need for the clothing to not be overly loose or baggy. That can bind up in the neck of the balloon during entry and really cause problems. Also not a lot of metallics that might tear or puncture on the way in.

Its my understanding that some of the Belly Dancing Burners from o u t s i d e NYC make it to PDF too. Im hoping to find someone whod wanna give it a go at PDF if I actually get there )Im 99% sure I will).

If anyone would be up to at least discussing it, please contact me privately.
