Back in 2012 (Yes we know this is many years behind) we worked with Vanessa-Reyes-Golding (Performer with Cirque du Soleil) to produce Metamorphosis, a performer show reel to feature Vanessa's skills in dance, silk work, character work and pole artistry.
She was up at the crack of dawn for make-up and body paint, and endured several hours in a cold dust storm in the middle of the desert near Las Vegas, Nevada - what a real trooper Vanessa was, and kudos to the team that endured the cold, wind and dust with her.
Please scroll all the way down to see the final work Metamorphosis on Vimeo.
Below is the short BTS (behind the scenes) with selected clips of the painful process. Video length: 51 seconds
