Manic's Member Of The Month - February '15

MEET MANIC'S 
MEMBER OF THE MONTH 

TILLY! 

Each month Manic Stage Productions like to introduce you to a different member of our talented team and let you find out a bit about who we are and who is behind the costumes glitz and glamour....

This month meet TILLY!

We asked Tilly a few questions about her life as a dancer and professional performer, where it all started, whats next and much more. Here's what Tilly had to say...

When did you start dancing?

I started dancing at the age of three beginning with baby ballet, quickly progressing onto ISTD tap, modern, ballet and musical theatre. As I child I loved everything about dance and continued to train through the grades and also took on jazz and singing all the way through until I was 15. To top of my childhood training in 2009 I was the winner of the ISTD Janet Cram Modern Dance Awards.

Where and when did you continue your training professionally?

Knowing I wanted to be on the stage I went on to train professionally at Laine Theatre Arts and was even lucky enough to be offered a Betty Laine Scholarship for her 3 years of training. I graduated in 2012 with a national diploma in dance and musical theatre which held me in good stead to go explore the world and work for many companies and productions as a professional performer.

What are you currently doing?

I have recently been away on the Ventura cruise ship working as a Singer/Dancer for Headliners theatre company and upon my return was excited to be back performing with Manic and the team! I am currently back in rehearsals for my second cruise on the Azura working again with Headliners company as a singer dancer.

We hear you have been in panto?

Yes for the past two years I have worked in pantomime as a dancer for the Wimbledon Theatre, pantos are so much fun and I loved being part of Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs and this year Cinderella. Each year there has been a host of celebrities and we have performed to packed out audiences every night.

Along with the above contracts I have also featured in a number of TV advert commercials for some major brands such as Marks & Spencers and have performed at numerous charitable and celebrity infused events.  

What has been your career highlight?
Gosh, I have enjoyed all of my performances but i must say that my favourite has to be going on tour with Baywatch star David Hasslehoff himself and being a part of his 3 man show as a backing dancer and singer. It really was such a great experience and a top laugh! Travelling up and down the country and touring with David was definitely my highlight so far and something I will always remember!

How long have you been part of Manic?

I have been lucky enough to be a member of Manic Stage Productions between contracts since 2012. As soon as my contract on Azura I will most certainly be back again and can't wait! I loves being a part of the team, it is made up of such a lovely bunch of people. We are all really close and supportive of each other it's like being part of our own little 
'Manic Family'.

Do you have a favourite Manic moment?

One of my favourite jobs for Manic has to be performing alongside Little Mix as a dancer and cheerleader at Rugby's Twickenham stadium, it was so amazing to be a part of and the reaction of thousands of people in the arena was a great rush and a day the whole Manic team will remember!
Manic Stage Productions is a great company to be part of. I get to sing and dance, performing for many corporate gigs and entertaining all types of crowds. My favourite thing about it is I never know what is round the corner or what venue I might arrive at which is such a buzz for the performance and every time it is different. 

Your final thoughts?

''I just love being on stage and performing, it's my life, my love not only my job but my dream and I love every minute of it and wouldn't have it any other way!''

We wish Tilly lots of luck in all her future endeavours and especially on her upcoming cruise in the next few months! We will of course keep up to date with her and see how she is getting on and just like all the other members of the team we encourage them to go out into the world and work and hope they always remember that they have a place here in Manic when they return! 

Lots of luck and Bon Voyage.. We look forward to seeing photos and seeing you again when you are home Tilly!

ALL ABOARD.....

H.M.S WARRIOR!

This time last week we're stepping off of dry land and working with a brand new client H.M.S Warrior in Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard. We had been booked to entertain with our bespoke performance pieces at their prestigious 'Summer Ball'

HMS Warrior really is such an amazing venue and of course we were so excited to be working onboard and given the task to fill the event with lots of amazing treats for the guests that were attending. 

Our girls were first staged at the entrance to the ship and on the jetty to welcome the glamorous guests aboard. With two showgirlz high up on or signature stilts they certainly set the scene for a night of glitz and glamour ahead of the 'Cabaret' themed evening. A lot of the guests wanted photos with our girls and with the stunning scenery and beautiful ship in the background who could blame them?

We also had two more stunning showgirlz in different feathered costumes on foot, assisting the captain when greeting the passengers onto the top deck. With feathers, sequins and smiles our girlz started the evening off in true show stopping style. 

As the night continued the guests had a wonderful three course dinner and were treated to a Rat Pack style singer to entertain them whilst they ate. Also on the ship was a photographer, our good friend and sensational singer Rachel as well as a casino for everyone to enjoy. 

Whilst the guests enjoyed their three courses it was our teams job to help with the evening's raffle. Picking winners, handing out prizes and posing for photos our girlz really can help with any little extras you have at your event. 

Lastly it was our turn to perform. With the length of the ship filled with tables of guests our girlz spread along the lower deck ready for their number. In an amongst all of the historic artefacts in this fabulous setting we performed to 'Diamond's Are A Girls Best Friend'. Our high kicks, splits, and dazzling choreography certainly got the attention of the passengers as they stopped eating their dessert to watch the girlz strut their stuff in style. 

We had a great evening on board such an amazing ship and with lots more themes and ideas in the pipeline we can't wait to hopefully be back very soon!

Big thank you to all the staff at HMS Warrior for making us feel so welcome :-)

CARNIVAL FOOTBALL FEVER

BRAZILIAN CARNIVAL FEVER!

Last week to celebrate the world cup taking place, our showgirlz were hired as part of a brazilian carnival fever event at Tiger Tiger in Portsmouth.
Hosted by Rough Hill, this was the first time we had worked on behalf of one of their events and we truly loved the atmosphere and vibe of their 'Bootleg' night and loved performing as part of their World Cup Night! 

With one boy and two stunning girl dancers the team were placed at the entrance and danced throughout the night to entertain the crowds as they entered for their big night out. With lots of football fans inside the building our sparkling costumes, headdresses and feathers really filled the club with excitement, energy and a lot of fun!! 

Once the night was well and truly under way we moved from the entrance to spread the world cup fever throughout the 4 rooms at Tiger Tiger, we danced the night away visiting, the Club room, the RNB room, the Disco Floor and the Kanaloa hawaiian bar. 

Of course we attracted lots of attention and quite an audience as we performed to a live band of amazing steel drums. We certainly added carnival culture to the event. Even though England lost their important football match that night the traditional music and our carnival dancing and spirit helped boost the mood and we were loved by the crowds. 

Our showgirlz and guys really do add that extra bit of glitz and glamour to your event to ensure those special extra memories are not forgotten. 

If you think we could enhance your party, theme or corporate event then do not hesitate to contact us to tailor entertainment to suit your theme.

Adding Glitz & Glamour

There’s No Business Like Show Business... 

Last week we were invited to be part of the Portsmouth Business Expo 2014. The prestigious event was this year held at the grand Portsmouth Guildhall. A huge and diverse selection of businesses set up their stands ready to welcome some of Portsmouth's business elite to browse over what their company has to offer. 

Our  Show Girlz welcome and entertain the crowds as they entered the historic building ready for a long day of networking. Way up high on our stilts we excited the public from the moment they arrived and saw us through the doors. 

Throughout the day we changing our outfits and surprising the public with our eye catching array of colouful and fun themed costumes. We showcased our much loved favorites including:

Showgirls

Bunny Girls

Sailors

Clowns

and Can Can Girls. 

We spent the day walking round the stands introducing ourselves to the many businesses present, explaining to them how we could enhance their business on a day like today.

Advertising and drawing attention was our aim and thats exactly what we did. 
We attracted a lot of interest and were surely remembered for the fun we brought to proceedings. 

We previously worked for a company much like all of the businesses present at The Olympia Business Show in London. We were able to explain that by using The SHOW Girlz so many people noticed the business and came over to browse and find out more about what the company had to offer. As always The Show Girlz were there to draw in the crowds and bring a touch of glamour to the days events!

A the end of the day out came our stilts again for a wander through the stalls (with another costume change of course). We posed for photos on and off our stilts with lots of different companies and were tweeting away making new contacts and friends. 

We hope to work with many of you in the future and don’t hesitate to contact us if you feel we could be of any help or assistance at your next event!
