If the Ross Sisters would have performed at PS122 circa 1987 they’d probably be regulars in Vegas a la Blue Man Group today. Certainly someone would have called me at High Performance magazine and said, “you really really really need to write about this group.” If they were performing today it would probably have a seriously negative impact on Lady Gaga’s career (assuming a contemporary audience would believe there was no computer manipulation involved). Anyway, I guess this is what sisters did before cell phones and texting. (Courtesy kottke.org)
My back hurts just looking at it! They can’t be human….
Thanks for sending the link, the ladies are cute, flexible and talented. They definitely would fit nicely in the company of Blue Man or Cirque du Soleil, which makes me ask: since they had such marketable skills, what makes you think they would want to dabble in performance art? I enjoy all forms of entertainment, but when it comes to performance art, it’s like pornography, I know when I see it, and as talented as the Ross sisters were, they don’t fall into either genre.
