I worked at the NGK Theater in Osaka for six weeks. The summer spectacular show was largely filled with Japanese comedians, but there were a few specialty acts like mine. This was a great way to pick up language skills since, in the guest house where I lived, at least six different languages were spoken. |
Zee Denick, from Czechoslovakia, an incredibly strong foot juggler, was able to hold up Alex and Dominique, a French hand balancing duo, with ease. We all had lots of laughs and only fought over the English language videos we rented each night.... I was looking for good plots and acting, everyone else was looking for action/violence which they could more easily understand. |

My daughter, Sandi, was my assistant in the show. I guess the experience had some affect on her..... today she is studying Japanese in college. |
Chinese acts.... often delicate, graceful and, to say the least, beautiful... were very popular at NGK. This lady from the mainland was trained from birth to be a contortionist. Her body had many scars where bones and cartilage had been removed to allow her to be more flexible. | ![]() |
