Cirque du Soleil Acrobat tests an 1890s Sports Corset

Let's test out my 1890s Sports Corset, modeled after the Ferris Good Sense Bicycle Waist! I will wear the corset for a full day of training, making sure to practice all of my normal movements and tricks, and see how the corset holds up to the activity. Will it impede and hinder certain movements? Will there be things I literally can't do at all because I'm wearing it, or will it be just like a bulky sports bra?!
This is my first time wearing a corset for an extended period of time, so that was an experience that I was quite eager to try, as I had no idea what to expect from it. Add the acrobatics on top of that, and you have a very interesting combination of.... hobbies? interests? experiences?
And just to head off any questions right here and now, no, I am not currently working for Cirque du Soleil, we have worked for them in the past, but one has to attract your attention somehow. The title is technically not inaccurate - I am an acrobat (although I prefer the term contemporary circus artist; it conjures fewer images of elephants and sawdust) and I have worked for Cirque du Soleil, so... one has to appease the SEO gods, right?!
Also, just gonna tag ‪@JillBearup‬ because I have heard that she quite likes the combination of corsets and circus arts ;-) Jill, if you're reading this, I adore your channel, and am a huge fan... if you ever want to choreograph an acrobatic fight scene (à la "Princess Bride), just call my name and I'll be there, ready to learn and flip!

Oh yea, definitely throw Miss Adventure Heroine in a sports corset all day long if you like, she should be able to handle it without a problem... as long as there's a nice chemise/drawers/etc layer under there for hygiene and easier laundering routines! But if you're considering the topic of sports corsets, you probably already knew that! 💙💚

The warm up sequence was so good! Really glad you showed a sports corset since fashion corsets get most of the attention. Really interesting that the biggest interference it seemed to cause seemed to impact your partner more than you. And yes please! I'm all in for any historical circus costume content. That's definitely not a subject I've seen any content on.

@ShannonMakes Год назад

Yea, the fashion corsets are maybe more pretty, but the sports corset is far more comfortable!! It's true that there's a void of historical circus content out there! Gotta fill that gap, I guess!! 💪🎪

@aeolia80 Год назад

all of the costumes I wore when I was doing classical ballet had a corset like bodice with boning because they were based off of costumes from the romantic period (1830s-40s, thereabouts), and really sucked you in, though they didn't go past the waist really, maybe only a little bit but not much. Anyways, if I was able to do all the dancing I did (and I had what was considered a larger bust for a ballet dancer and I was super strapped into that bodice) with no problems, I highly doubt it's the corset that's the problem when certain people say corsets are bad for you health, lol

@ShannonMakes Год назад

No, I’d say it’s generally not that corsets are bad for your health or anything of the sort? (I never really believed that, and this video was not so much an attempt to bust that myth as it was a fun experiment to test the limits of the sports corset! Although Lina Piprek has a great video about corsets and on-stage actors (as a costume designer in the industry) and she raises some really good points!

@TenaciousWorkshop Год назад

@lizzieophelia Год назад

The purple is protected.... why would anyone ever want to change that? It's amazing. (Purple is my jam though). As a person who casually dabbles in historical dress *and* lyra hoop this video has 100% been relevant to my interests in a way I didn't think would ever organically show up.

@ShannonMakes Год назад

HAHA, oh, see I like purple too, but not necessarily that shade, and also not the colors of all the neon chairs that are spread out in the building 🤣🤣 I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the intersection of your two interests. There's a bit of circus in my Recycling Rosie Onesie (I made it as a warm-up suit for backstage), and a bit of historical dress (more strictly historical in the next month or two), but mainly its more history-bounding with a side of corgi and circus and a healthy dose of recycling, so please feel free to stick around and poke through the video vault, see if anything else tickles your fancy!!

@CaptainStitchyPants Год назад

I'm so happy that epic warm-up sequence is getting another airing! It would be interesting to see if wearing something over the corset makes any difference to the issues you noted. I'd love to see a bit more about how those spheres of your life intersect. So yes, absolutely, historical circus costume (I think you showed a picture once of a lovely dapper lady? I forget her name), but actually also insight into the modern performance clothes you make for yourself (and Phil!). They must have some unique design requirements that could be interesting to see in practice - they'd need to be robust, sure, but also allow for full range of motion, presumably no awkward seams to chafe under a harness, will be cool enough that you don't overheat, etc, etc. (And always Cannelle! Those wiggling little 'tocks are a thing of joy!)

@ShannonMakes Год назад

Wow, thank you!! The spinning just takes some getting used to (I mean, I don't have vertigo, so I don't mean to imply that all YOU'd have to do is practice... just that for ME, that was the case), but it was certainly a fun challenge to take on, wearing the corset and seeing how it'd affect the training!

It turns out that not only do I thoroughly enjoy watching you restore your home in Nova Scotia, I really like seeing you practice your acrobatics. The costume highlights are a bonus.

@nathalieslachmuylders Год назад

Just beautiful! I very much like the whiteness and structure of the corset as part of an outfit. It is unusual in style, and I look at it differently of course, but I see it now with a type of bloomer-like garment, or atop a crazy structural garment in the same material, thinking theatre of Bauhaus costumes : ) Very unpractical I imagine, but I'm not an acrobat : ) I second the sentiment that I would also like to see historic circus costumes recreated, since I happen to have always liked that type of thing, and there's enough of the same historic recreations going on on youtube already... but you do you, and I'm mostly keeping my fingers crossed for your channel to go viral, since that is absolutely what you deserve with your original and creative content!

😹😹well WOW, I have a chronic fear of heights due to an accident 40 years ago, never got over it, I can watch someone else doing the stunts and know how hard they are and how much training goes into them, the fact you made the corset and used it in your warmup session to prove using a corset is not as bad as soo many actress have made out, but thinking back I think the issue for them was the lack of correct under garments to go with them and most likely not fitted to them correctly. Would loved to have seen the full act that you were in, but living in the Aussie Outback does have its own limits😹😹😹😹

Its a story set between 1890 and 1905, and I'd love to see what sort of costume you'd make if you were a performer in that circus. The only limit is that every costume is black and/or white, no grays or colors allowed.

@ShannonMakes 11 месяцев назад

I just re-read it recently, actually! But completely put aside my "historical costuming" brain for it, I didn't want to try to analyze the costumes, so I admit that I don't even really remember what any of them looked like. Would be super fun to make one though, I agree... maybe for a future video!

Nice remake, it feels tighter and better paced. That said I loved the first video too. My guess is that the first video had more of a "Historical costumer investigates the properties of a sports corset" vibe, while this remake has more of a "Look!

Oooh, yea, it'd be tricky to teach a safe class without ever touching the students, I could see how that would be maybe not the best mix. Sorry your experience wasn't a full win, but I'm glad you enjoyed the video!! Thanks for watching

Hello hello 👋 I just found you trough your historic knitting videos. I am an art historian, lover of sewing, knitting, crazy cats and doggys and do aerial hoop for some years - now I am off to absolutely subscribing you! ❤❤❤

@ShannonMakes Год назад

Hello and welcome aboard! An art historian... that's so cool! I've been looking at lots of historical circus art and posters lately 🎪🎨 Sounds like there are lots of things on the channel that will interest you - I've got corgi costumes and doggy-sized fainting couches, many sewing projects... a bit of circus pops up in my Recycling Rosie Onesie... all kinds of fun thing!!

This was such a fun video! I looove seeing the behind the scenes circus stuff, always a reminder about how hard you guys work! Putting that sports corset through its paces haha!

Thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed it

Only a few years ago i realized just how physically demanding of a job being a circus acrobat must be. i don't have enough stamina to do a quarter of the warm-up routine you did, let alone the tricks you showed us. oh, and i'm scared of heights. and clowns. Thank you for not showing any in this video. I have a feeling the harness helped with making the yoga pants stay on ;p

Cycling corset but you aren’t wearing it on the bike? I fenced for 35 years, this circus work absolutely amazes me! More, please!

@ShannonMakes Год назад

LOL I feel like there are about a zillion videos out there of people do rather mundane activities in their corsets. The whole point was for me to do something a bit more extraordinary (in the original sense of the word)... I literally ride a bike every single day, so that wasn't something that felt particularly interesting to "test out" ya know what I mean!?

Me too!! Working on it (extant examples are tricky to find)!!

Canelle in the foreground like "meh, boring" is everything! Also, always totally impressed with your mad skills.

@ShannonMakes Год назад

omg, so true. Unimpressed corgi is (unsurprisingly) unimpressed!!

@haakdraakje Год назад

Glad to see you started with some easier stuff and worked up to the trickier bits!

For sure!! 💪

Whale baleen may be hard to come by. Plastic and metal are a godsend!

@ShannonMakes Месяц назад

Considering it's illegal to harvest and sell except by Alaska Natives as Traditional Native Handicraft, I'd say it's definitely very hard to come by.... nigh on impossible!

Seeing some historic circus costume remakes would be boss. Another fun idea would be reviewing or going over historic circus costumes. Also, I’d love a history tour/lesson next time you’re somewhere cool!
