Now, you might be asking yourself why in the world would I want to be a contortionist. Let me tell you exactly why. Basically, there are so many to contortionism that you'll be surprised that you haven't started it or thought of it here before. First thing, there's music videos. As a contortionist, you'll be able to contour or do little circus acts or street performances in a music video that are quite unusual. Most people aren't able to do them so it's always a big crowd pleaser. Another thing. Besides just being in the circus, which most people think that's where the freaks or contortionisms go, you can join circus solae, the most world renowned business that there is. Those shows are sold out everywhere you go. Why you wouldn't want to be part of that company just me. Another end of the spectrum is you can do this as an extra thing you can do. It helps your body become nice and fit and it also is something that you're able to do with your friends or at parties or just an extra little thing that you're able to add that other people aren't. As an actress per say, you might be going into an audition or something and they start looking at your resume and they say a contortionist, what's that. You say well let me show you and you pull out a quick little trick or maneuver for them. They see it and they're like oh my gosh that's amazing. While your read was wonderful, that kind of puts you at a whole other level versus everyone else, because it gives them something to remember you by. Another thing, your friends will love it. They go crazy for it. It's very cool to just be able to practice and do something that other people aren't. Everyone likes to have something that's unique or cool about them Contortionism is about as unique as you can get. I highly suggest and I think that you should peruse it as something because it's so much fun and so different compared to what everyone else is doing in the world today.
