THE CHARACTERS
KRISTINA
blond, in her mid-twenties, tall.
She is wearing a red shirt-dress and flip-flops with rope soles. She wears a head-scarf tied in a bow on her head.
She loves a pun, a catch phrase, and can’t resist shooting actions with mimed pop-guns.
KATIE is shorter, with dark hair, dressed in work jeans and a plain black top. On her feet are rotting tennis shoes.
She too wears a headscarf, tied sometimes around her head to flatten her hair but mostly around her neck.
Both are dirty and sweaty, looking tired and unkempt. This is not due to poverty or for want of a shower and clean clothes, but because of their work as artists.
They try to compensate for this disheveled appearance by wearing full faces of make-up at all times. And too much perfume which may waft into the audience. Both constantly touch-up and re-powder. KATIE in particular reapplies generous lashes of red lipstick periodically.
Note – They make enthusiastic + noble attempts to improve their singing (through home-made karaoke machines) but are new to improving themselves through Dance.
They have just discovered ‘ZUMBA’ to which they may refer. It is a “fusion of Latin & International music combined with body sculpting movements with easy to follow dance movements”
