At the culmination of her dramatic solo, where Bea portrays the character Aouda being forced to dance to her death, Mr Fogg (in the form of Yan, our male lead) steps in to rescue her. As she span and fell to his feet, arms outstretched, the audience were amazed at Bea's bravery to pull off such a move.
The truth is she stepped oddly, broke a toe, and fell! Fortunately the choreography called for her to be half carried from the stage, so she could bear the injury with grace until off stage. As this was only the fourth dance in the show, she was strapped up, and carried on!

Dance?...It may seem odd to find these on a website devoted to museums, galleries and heritage, but as well as visiting sites such as those, my spare time is taken up with dance . The Nottingham Dance Collective encompasses all dance from traditional Egyptian to modern street dance. For Around the World in 80 Days, I was asked to record some of those odd little moments that cropped up in the show. Archives |
