Fruit Carving Show

When Tom Cruise and Olga Kurilenko broke an ice sculpture at a Taiwanese premiere of Oblivion, and the Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs did a Watermelophant Contest, I got that carving art could be turned into an entertaining show. I've had a dream to do a fruit carving perfomance one day. I took down a plan of my possible show including jokes, funny stories and sketchs of garnishes which could be intersting to visitors. I was prepared to meet my chance :)

The opportunity came to me in the begining of May, when I did a Fruit Carving Show at a movie preview "Kitchen In Paris", a comedial story about a russian cafe in Paris. 

It was a 30 minutes fruit carving perfomance in the cinema theater before the movie. After a short presentation I involved people in to the art of drink garnishing. 

I had some cretaria for my show:

• beign kids friendly with family content
• using easy techniques with a simple knife
• show fruit garnishes that people do not expect to see
• connection with the movie theme

Instead of 30 minutes I had 1 hour show. When the movie started I still had people at my desk. 

See the following pictures of the show.
