Physical body production

Idea

A stage dance production called "Physical Body". The production aims to showcase the human body in all of it's exquisite physicality: control, strength, flexibility, sensuality, coordination. This is achieved by taking a multi-disciplined approach to performace by using a body builder, yoga practitioner, gymnast, stripper, dancer. There should be a good gender balance between the disciplines. Each of these disciplines can show off one or more of these aspects. The object is to get all walks of the audience to appreciate all that is being displayed. eg. why can't straight guys enjoy a male stripper, why can't yobs enjoy yoga, etc...

Detail

The show should maintain the purity of each of the disciplines lest the audience suspects the production of being to voyeristic. However, the disciplines should be mixed into an artistic vision which is culturally worthy and exciting/pleasing/exhilarating. Hopefully it would have broad appeal to the average person (men and women) or maybe it would just appeal to those who love the body. The mood is undoubtedly sensual and sensuality flows from the physical. This is similar to ancient Greek gymnasts. It is also a spectacle in the same way that private circuses have been for royalty.
