Body language is a form of non-verbal communication that can leave a deep impression, which is an advantage of the living statue art form.
First appearing in the world from the 19th century until now, the living statue art form has made many new advancements and gradually attracted widespread public attention. From a street art form, the living statue profession has now been upgraded to be more professional, capable of serving large events and festivals.
Renting living statues, providing professional living statue services for inauguration ceremonies
In the era of integration and development, spiritual values are given top priority, so the living statue profession today also demands stricter and higher requirements to satisfy all customers.
From appearance, physical fitness, to patience, endurance, confident demeanor… especially the need for skin that is not sensitive to paints and chemicals (to avoid allergies, itching, redness, etc.), the living statue profession has a quite strong elimination rate, accompanied by relatively high wages compared to other services.
The appearance of living statues is quite diverse, depending on the genre and customer requirements. Performers spend a long time with makeup artists to create their character (usually lasting 2-4 hours). Special paints used for body painting are applied all over the body, including small details like eyelids, hair, ears, nose, mouth, etc., which are carefully made up.
Performers wear costumes specially designed for the character they are required to portray. Many costumes are relatively difficult to wear due to their cumbersome and bulky nature, causing discomfort and inconvenience when moving. Therefore, it requires performers to maintain a good physical state during the makeup and performance time.
The job of a living statue after makeup is to remain in a stationary state, without moving, for a considerable period of time (usually 45 minutes to 1 hour for one work shift).
Even during the performance, the living statue must not move or show discomfort, even if they feel itchy, have insects crawling on them, or are affected by hot or cold weather, to avoid impacting the quality of the performance. Additionally, according to customer requirements, living statues may also perform special movements to arouse curiosity and interact with people around them.
Some living statues may be required to perform difficult poses such as raising their hands high, holding props, bending their legs, crouching, carrying out lifting motions, or flexing… These movements might seem normal, but when held still for a long time, they can cause fatigue and significantly affect physical endurance.
In addition to standing still, the challenge of performing as a living statue is the pressure of hundreds of gazes around them. Some curious onlookers may even touch, push, or play pranks to provoke a reaction from the statue.
However, once committed to the profession, the living statue performer must be fully immersed and maintain a natural demeanor, not allowing external influences to affect their statue-like appearance. Therefore, the work of a living statue is a profession worthy of respect.
To maintain a long-term career in this profession, living statue performers need to undergo proper training to maintain good physique and fitness, as well as keep their passion for the living statue art form alive. Performers dedicate time to gym workouts, yoga, stretching, as well as skincare, breath control, sweat management, body state regulation, and patience training.
Living statues easily create attraction for customers, not only as a form of entertainment art but also as a service that has become a method of promoting images, products, and brands of businesses, making it quite popular among companies. Living statues can have brand names or logos painted on their bodies or attached when creating their appearance to make a deep impression on customers.
