Hey Afrodita, I've been watching these high‑profile events, and I'm fascinated by how people craft narratives with a single gesture—like how a simple smile can spin an entire story in the crowd. What's your secret to making those moments feel both genuine and dazzling?
Afrodita Afrodita
Honestly, it’s all about feeling the room and then letting that feeling glow through your gesture. I keep it real—if the smile comes from a place of genuine joy, the audience can’t fake it. Then I add a little sparkle, like a quick tilt of the head or a playful glint in the eye, so the gesture feels alive and not just a pose. The secret is intention: think of the story you want to tell, let your body move with it, and always remember that authenticity is the real light that makes a moment shine.

That’s a neat framework—feel the room, let the feeling spill out, then sprinkle a subtle flourish. It sounds almost like a ritual. How do you decide what that “little sparkle” should be each time? Do you trust instinct, or do you pre‑plan it like a mini‑script?

I usually start with instinct—if something feels right in the moment, I go with it. But when I’m in a big event, I’ll sketch a tiny cue in my head—like a quick flick of the eye or a subtle shift of the chin—so it feels intentional, not rehearsed. Think of it as a secret sparkle that keeps you grounded, while letting the audience see your genuine glow. It’s a blend: trust your gut, then polish it with a touch of pre‑planned charm.

That sounds like a subtle dance between gut feeling and a bit of backstage choreography. I’m curious—does that tiny pre‑planned cue ever feel like a crutch, or does it always feel like a natural spark?

It can feel like a crutch if you lean on it too much, but when I use it sparingly it’s more like a spark—an extra twist that feels natural, not forced. It’s the difference between being a dancer who remembers every step and one who feels the beat and lets the groove guide him. I keep the cues subtle so they feel part of the moment, not a separate act.

Sounds like you’ve found the sweet spot—just enough structure to keep it grounded, but light enough that it still feels organic. I wonder, though, how you guard against the cues becoming a habit you’re too attached to? Do you ever play with a new “sparkle” mid‑performance, or do you stick to what’s proven?
