Take Me Somewhere | Jo Hauge - self insert outside fan spiral (on ice)
Part of Take Me Somewhere Festival, 15 to 26 October
15 October 6pm to 7pm
16 October 7pm to 8pm
Self insert outside fan spiral (on ice) is a live action figure skating fan fiction / a heaving wet totally real figure skating event made up of lots of bits of slippery, pleasurable neurodivergent overwhelm.
Here are some facts about figure skating: there are no facts in figure skating only very strong opinions. A spiral is when you glide on one blade for a long time either forwards or backwards with the other foot raised. A fan spiral is a back outside edge spiral where the legs look like the edges of a fan if it was a really dangerous fan made from legs.
(on ice) takes place on an amplified piece of real fake ice and like any real figure skating event includes a six minute warm-up, Carmens, Boleros, Swan Lakes, Phantoms, lifts, quadruple Axels, alien mpreg, crystals, illusion mesh, bears, short programmes, medium programmes, long programmes, and several ice resurfacing breaks. The ice resurfacing machine is probably the best figure skater of all time. His name is Zamboni and he makes the ice with his teeth and his liquids and he’s sooooo sexy.
Recommended for ages 18+
