| Description: | LET US SWAY Trapeze artist Miss Tamara. Good trapeze act by Miss Tamara in a pretty sequined costume. United Kingdom LS spotlight comes up on woman in sequined leotard, with short waved hair, sitting on trapeze; curtains draped in BG. Miss T. slides down & turns over backward, then does a stunt holding herself in horizontal position while hanging on to trapeze with one hand. Then she flips back up. LS side view Miss Tamara swinging on trapeze. She flips around in various ways, most notably swinging while hanging by her heels. With trapeze still again or nearly so, Miss T. hangs upside down from the bar by her feet. MS Miss T.'s legs & trapeze: the bar is under the top side of her feet. She removes one leg and remains hanging by one foot only. MLS pan on Miss T. her feet in same position but now bending up to hold onto the bar with her hands while she gets the trapeze swinging. Pan back and forth as she now lets go with her hands and swings hanging by her feet again; after a bit of this she pulls herself up to sit on the bar. Cut to MLS side view trapeze, now still again; Miss T. hangs upside down by knees, then bends her waist to reach up w/ her arms going under the bar and hands grasping ropes. Then she suddenly pulls herself over so that she'd almost be in a sitting position if she stayed that way but she keeps going over upside down again, lets go with her hands and drops, catching herself by her feet over the bar and outside the ropes, braced against them. Better seen than described - -impressive trick. LS tilt up: Miss T. sits swinging on trapeze which is now moving to and away from camera. From the sitting position she drops backward and catches herself by her feet again, in a shortened version of the previous stunt. Slow-motion version of same trick. MCU Miss Tamara sitting on trapeze smiling. (Stunts, tricks, daredevils, circus, entertainment, trapeze, acrobatics) | |
