Reflective element on the stage

Written and directed by Charlotte Lagrange, “I am large,” seduced by his passion and finesse
His chosen land is “a place without borders.” The day she found out Jean-Baptist André in his solo, as in daylight, she has dreamed that this place was not a chimera. On stage, the French artist trained in circus arts mixed game, dance and balances. Julie TVorwarn was barely out of adolescence and do not intend to give up his studies in space design, in Lyon, to become an acrobat. Today, twenty-nine, she saw his passion and his solo performer at the Theater Am Strum Gram in Geneva. Who is Julie TVorwarn? This is the question that weaves the fabric of I’m large. “I’m a little, a lot, passionately … nothing,” she crashes to the ground but do not give up. She already jumped explores the tray lined with reflective walls balancing on hands, carefully, as to not miss … herself. The fluidity of her routines enchants. “I’m an acrobat flowing. Being deeply rooted in the ground, I feel not to fall down. ”
The quest from the outset is in the origins of the young woman (his mother is Spanish). And remember that arises from childhood: a grandmother omnipotent ordering the girl to eat onions (the grandfather owes its survival during the Spanish Civil War). The allele point a finger and threatening tone. Face it, skimming the ground, the child bristled. This scene, truculent, was inspired by an episode lived with the family. Julie TVorwarn teenager says she dissimulate under layers of clothing (pants, skirt, dress, tunic, scarf …) to the point of being nicknamed “Cibola” (onion).
In real life, Julie wondered what she was trying to escape the view of others with his attire. “It’s not easy being a woman in reflective vest,” she whispers. During his three years of training at the National Circus Arts Centre in France, she was always in a tracksuit. His muscles had doubled in size.
“You never will jump as high as a man. Pull yourself together, breathe. Mouse, go, again! “On stage, the words of the past resonate loudly. And Julie runs, docile, linking the wheels, with or without hands.
Onions continue to pave the way. Nestled in the chest, they propel the performer femme fatale, on a soundtrack of Carmen. Later in the palm of the hand, they let peel, and deliver their share of truth.
In 2013, the acrobat had dazzled us in The Owl, and we wind, reflective fabric Mosquito. She was Lola, the rebellious girl who accompanied him on his night fugue young Sebastian, convinced that his parents were impostors. Today, she plays a woman who rightly seeks resists and does not resolve itself to be foreign to it.
Aimed at an audience aged ten and over, I’m large is not a self-centered quest. Introspection here invites to wear a calm look on his own identity. In a cloud of powder, Julie TVorwarn leaves the stage with ease. How does she feel after the show? “I feel really me. And if I can be like that all the time, I’ll be happy. ”
“I am large.”

Reflective elements to protect the pedestrians

4 people were killed and seven were injured – voiced Statistics Alexander, deputy. Head of Traffic Police Ministry of Internal Affairs on sustainable development. – In this case, none of the pedestrians on the clothing was not reflective elements.

The main causes of such accidents – Pedestrians do not use retro-reflective elements cross the road outside the pedestrian crossings. In addition, the assaults occur in the poorly lit “Zebra”.

As drivers see pedestrians on the unlit passage?

In September, dark early, and some lights near the “Zebra” or not at all, or they are not working. We conducted an experiment and found out as drivers with a distance (25 m) see pedestrians in the clothes of different colors. Camera settings are maximally close to what the human eye sees. To avoid distortion when photographing we did not use the approach.

  1. Reflective clothing

On the road is visible only black silhouette, which merges with the darkness. When the car drove up, pedestrians had to bounce back to the side of the road to avoid an accident. so the reflective clothing is very important.

  1. Light jacket

Inspector’s traffic police are advised, in the extreme case, to wear something white, to become more visible. In fact – it does not help much. One of the drivers of nearly knocked pedestrian. He stopped at the last moment.

  1. Pedestrian in a dark jacket and white hat

Apparently, because the cap was white crystal and jacket – more sand.

  1. Reflective Bracelet

It can be seen from far away, but even better if these bracelets will be two – on both hands.

  1. Reflective Keychain

So he will not run. It shows us less effective than the bracelet.

  1. Blinking Flashlight

It can be attached to the jacket, bag or cap unlike other tools just like reflective tape; drivers reacted to him as soon as pedestrians approaching the road.

New traffic act on reflective elements

A fine of up to 2,500 dollars! Such sanctions should bring the amendment to the Road Traffic Act adopted by the Government. These sanctions threaten pedestrians who are in poor visibility will be outside of the village with protective reflective elements. How many of us knows this new measure, which still must go through the legislative wheel to become?

Improve traffic safety on the roads. It is the intent of the amendment to the road law, which was approved by the government. In the novel, among other things, the obligations of pedestrians wear reflective material for low visibility, thus in darkness or fog on the roads outside the village. In the original draft amendment was that the obligation applied even in the villages, but eventually dropped from the law on the Legislative Council of the Government.

If these elements pedestrians have not, they face a fine of 1,500 to 2,500 crowns. “I’m not a big fan of repressive interventions, we should pedestrians explain that it’s for their safety,” said Transportation Minister Dan Ťok.

And how many of us a new measure if it passes through Parliament and the President signs it, the state? The most basic equipment is not expensive and can be purchased by everyone. In addition to the many security events, these elements are distributed free of charge. Basic reflective tape that you can wrap around your hand or leg costs about 30 to 50 crowns. As well as various pendants and reflective stickers, the price usually ranges between 10 and 50 crowns.

Some have already have problems with reflectors resolved because a number of outdoor clothes, those reflective elements already wearing.
