Coverage by the CHP
The
ICC 2000 was the second worldwide convention held by the
International Contortion Connection (ICC), a non-profit organization
dedicated to promoting the art of contortion.
At the heart of the ICC is Ska von Schoning
(ska@vnet.de) of
Showbiz Artist Management. She was the driving force behind
the
ICC 2000 convention.
The
ICC 2000 convention took place in Las Vegas on September 10th through 12th, 2000.
It was the event of a lifetime for contortion fans from all over the
globe, who came to celebrate the incredible capabilities of
the human body.
The convention included panel discussions with contortionists,
contortion trainers, medical professionals, and promoters of the
art form.
The convention ended with a spectacular gala event, which
included performances from various types of contortionists. The
acts ranged from beautiful to shocking, as graceful artistic performers
bent alongside of performers who could make a navy seal cringe.
Media coverage included two national TV channels doing documentaries,
multiple syndicates and newspaper writers, and webmasters for many
contortion sites on the Internet.
It was a time and place for all who enjoy contortion to come
together. And, it was a resounding success.
We at the CHP hope you will enjoy these photos from the ICC.
We can hardly wait for the next ICC, and hope that our friends
from around the globe will continue to further the beautiful
art of contortion.
